Saturday Spotlight Cancelled- Water Quality Monitoring

 

CANCELLED

WATER QUALITY MONITORING

August 14th, 2010

$3.00 for members and $5.00 for non-members

 

The Georgia Adopt-A-Stream program provides the training and knowledge you need to become a volunteer stream monitor.  Join us for this hands-on, introductory workshop to learn how volunteers in this program monitor water quality using basic parameters, such as pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature, and how to identify stream organisms (macroinvertebrates), which are also indicators of stream health.

 

Weather permitting, we will be visiting the creek for the field portion of the workshop, so wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes.

 

WITH SHARON SMITH, ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION COORDINATOR AT THE FULTON COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS WATER SERVICES DIVISION

 

Complimentary, light refreshments will be offered.
