The Texas Stream Team program is a statewide network of trained volunteers and partners working together to collect quality-assured data about Texas surface water bodies and to ensure information is available to all Texans. There are more than 400 volunteers collecting water quality data from lakes, rivers, and streams in programs across the state.
