Partners of Scott County Watersheds will be hosting its Summer Snapshot volunteer water quality monitoring event on Saturday, July 18 from 8 a.m. to noon at the Davenport Public Works building (1200 E 46th St., Davenport, IA).
The Snapshot volunteer water quality monitoring events have been taking place since 2003. Three times a year, groups of volunteers will test around 60 sites in Scott County for nitrogen, phosphorus, chloride, pH, temperature, and turbidity, and macroinvertebrates, among other parameters. For the summer Snapshot, we will also be taking a survey of insects and other animals living in a select number of sites.
This event is free to attend, and volunteers will receive a free t-shirt and pizza lunch. Please RSVP at http://xstreamcleanup.org/upcoming-events to reserve your spot. Contact info@partnersofscottcountywatersheds.org with any questions.
