Water Rangers is a movement

We’re here to help communities take water monitoring into their own hands. Water Rangers provides easy-to-use tools, training, and ongoing support so you can start collecting water quality data right away — whether you purchase a testkit or receive one through our grant programs.

But our ultimate goal is bigger: for local communities to feel confident and equipped to organize themselves, collect reliable data, and use that information to protect the places they love.

The power of local leadership

Our volunteers are more than data collectors — they’re local leaders. They know their waters best, and they bring valuable insight that professional monitoring alone can’t match.

  • Community-driven — We help you get started, but you set the priorities for your monitoring program.
  • Accessible tools — Field-tested kits and resources make high-quality testing possible anywhere.
  • Shared knowledge — Data is open by default so it can be used by anyone who cares about healthy waters.

How you can get involved

We support you from your first test to running your own monitoring program. Here’s how to start:

  1. Get a testkit — Order your kit or apply for a grant-supported kit. Our kits are designed for community use and come with everything you need.
  2. Learn the skills — Explore our training resources and how-to guides so you can feel confident testing and recording data.
  3. Lead locally — Check out our community projects for inspiration, then start organizing volunteers, expanding your sites, and sharing your results with decision-makers.
