Volunteer Water Monitoring Training by Kansas Riverkeeper

Friends of the Kaw is hosting a second 3 hour, hands-on, super fun volunteer training session on Saturday, October 18 from 1 to 4pm at the De Soto Access Ramp.  In this training, you will conduct both chemical and non-chemical water monitoring tests.  You will seine for macroinvertebrates and learn to identify them.  You will measure impervious surface area and determine runoff volumes.  You”ll have lots of fun and you might even accidentally learn something! Most of the training will be outside at a water site so please dress appropriately and wear shoes that can get wet! Lunch will be provided at 12:30pm.

We are training volunteers to help us with our new Kids About Water (KAW) project that we will implement in middle school and high school classes this year.  We had six people attend the session on Oct. 7 and all had a great time.
