Participate
in water quality protection
Illinois’ rivers and streams are
impacted by human activities and land uses. Stream monitoring offers
an opportunity for volunteers to learn about water resources,
develop an understanding of the connection between human behavior
and watershed health, and become involved in the stewardship of the
state’s rivers and streams.
Collect
valuable data
It is difficult to make informed decisions about local resources
with insufficient data. RiverWatch volunteers provide state
scientists and watershed groups with broader data on which to assess
the conditions of our streams.
Connect
with the environment
Individuals, families, schools and youth groups can all develop a
deeper connection with their natural environment by monitoring a
special stream.
