World Water Monitoring Day

World Water Monitoring Day is an international education and outreach program intended to build public awareness and involvement in protecting water resources around the world by engaging citizens to conduct basic monitoring of their local water bodies.

The main purpose of this educational event is to invite citizens within the global community to experience water monitoring first hand to evaluate conditions within their local watersheds.  The monitoring period is from September 18 through October 18, and volunteers enter their monitoring results into a global database that stores all information collected during the monitoring period at: www.worldwatermonitoringday.org. Volunteers perform and submit data from four key tests:  dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity/clarity and temperature. More experienced monitors may also complete more technical analyses such as macroinvertebrate counts (aquatic insects), nitrogen content, phosphorus, and the speed of the water flow.
