Become a Local Waterway Guardian

Help protect and restore our streams, rivers and lakes by getting involved in a water monitoring or clean up project! Water Quality Monitors learn how to and monitor a designated monitoring site in a nearby river, creek, stream, or lake. And Adopt-A-Highway is one of several clean up projects that our chapter participates in. Here’s some resources to learn more about the importance of protecting our local waterways.

  • The Importance of Water Quality
  • Riparian (the land along your waterway) Resources
  • Lone Star Healthy Streams
  • Brazos River Authority
  • Lower Colorado River Authority

Ready to get started? Two of our water quality monitoring programs require some additional training and certification to make sure that the data we submit to scientists is always as accurate as possible. For detailed information about the water quality monitoring and testing, click here.

Check out our Water Quality Monitoring Team Volunteer Page for more information about how to take action in your local watershed.
