Water Quality Monitoring - Scott County, Iowa
Tax deductible
Partners of Scott County Watersheds is raising money to purchase supplies for water quality monitoring kits and for ongoing lab costs needed for our Snapshot events! Our main goal is to restock expired testing materials in the volunteer kits, add materials for biological test kits, and cover lab analysis costs for a total of $12,545.
Three times per year, 30-35 volunteers will test 60 sites in Scott County, Iowa, to determine water quality health in our area. Parameters tested include nutrient and bacteria levels, pH, temperature, transparency, and chloride levels, among others. Samples collected for lab analysis validate our volunteers' work and also test for more specialized parameters. Help us improve the quality of our waters in Scott County!
