At a time when HAB monitoring is more important than ever, better instrumentation and drift-resistant sensors have made it easier than ever to stay on top of harmful algal blooms. Join In-Situ Application Development Manager Eric Robinson for a practical discussion on why and how to make long-term HAB monitoring an effective and affordable part […]
Freshwater is vital to human life and societal well-being (Baron et al. 2001), but its quality and quantity are being threatened at the global and local scales (Gleick 2014). Indeed, recognition of a growing global freshwater crisis resulted in the United Nations calling 2013 the International Year of Water Cooperation. Water provides numerous ecosystem services […]

Cyanobacteria are common in water around the world and we expect them to be in Vermont lakes. Staff at the VT DEC and the Department of Health work together with VOLUNTEERS LIKE YOU to keep an eye on what cyanobacteria are doing around the state.
The purpose of this webinar is to encourage and promote partnerships between the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), state water programs, water utilities and other stakeholders to take advantage of NRCS opportunities (i.e., new Farm Bill provisions, National Water Quality Initiative (NWQI) Source Water Protection watersheds, and Regional Conservation Partnership Projects (RCPP)) to work […]
The Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program (SWAMP), the California Water Quality Monitoring Council, the California Water Boards Data Center, and the San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) are hosting the Fourth Annual California Water Boards Water Data Science Symposium on July 1-2, 2019 in Sacramento, CA. This annual event aims to enhance how water quality monitoring […]
You work and play on them. You drink from them. But do you really appreciate them? Growing population, development, and invasive species stress your local lakes, ponds, and reservoirs. All life needs water; let’s not take it for granted!
Volunteers have been submitting information during the annual Dip-In snapshot since 1994. Please join them in this international effort to track changes in water quality! The Secchi Dip-In is part of Lakes Appreciation Month, where we celebrate our lakes throughout the month of July each year.
