Volunteer Monitoring Workgroup

The Volunteer Monitoring Workgroup was developed in 2016 in conjunction with the National Water Quality Monitoring Council to provide a forum to discuss volunteer  monitoring specific questions and to encourage integration between volunteer monitoring activities and water quality monitoring conducted by local, state and federal agencies. This workgroup's deliverables include 3-4 annual webinars, support volunteer monitoring sessions and activities at the National Monitoring Conference and assist in maintaining volunteermonitoring.org.
