Water Quality Program

Water Quality

World Water Monitoring Day (WWMD) is a yearly opportunity for people of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds to learn more about their local water resources while taking part in an important global water quality monitoring effort.

The monitoring tests are safe, easy and may be performed anytime from September 18 through October 18.

They include dissolved oxygen (DO), acidity (pH), turbidity (or clarity) and temperature. Macro invertebrate (“bugs”) studies may also be reported.

 

WWMD data will be published on-line each year at www.worldwatermonitoringday.org so people all over the world can see the monitoring results.

 

The pictures displayed below are from this year’s testing on the 4th and 5th of October. We worked with 5 different classes of 7th graders from the Torrington Middle School on the North Platte River.
