Concerns
Through this program, citizen scientists play a vital role in collecting data for baseline water chemistry and on key contaminants, including PFAS, nutrients, and chloride (road salts) for the Lake Erie basin. By addressing critical gaps in regional water quality data, the project supports innovative pilot programs to develop and refine new monitoring methods.
Intended audience
Our community, Government and decision makers
Intended use
Benchmarking of water body or watershed health, Share and compare results across watersheds., Education and engagement of local communities, Use in resource prioritization and decision making
