About the RiverWatch Citizen Scientist Program

About Mission | Background | Partners | Network Groups

RiverWatch is a statewide monitoring program utilizing trained citizen scientists to provide information on the health of our streams and give researchers and policy makers the ability to better plan and tend to the future of our state’s water resources.

Citizen scientists examine indicators like stream habitat and the diversity of species such as mayflies, caddisflies, stoneflies, midge worms and snails. These organisms display varying tolerances to pollution and habitat changes and are important indictors of stream health.
