DEC is seeking volunteers for stream and river monitoring

June 5, 2018

Want to learn more about the environment? Want to help youth get involved in a hands on scientific study?

Water Assessments by Volunteer Evaluators (WAVE) is citizen-based water quality assessment developed by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). The purpose of WAVE is to enable citizen scientists to collect biological data for assessment of water quality on wadeable streams in NY State.

WAVE citizen scientists collect benthic macroinvertebrates from wadeable streams. Sampling can be conducted any time between July 1 and September 30.

Regular stream monitoring helps detect changes in water quality over time. Monitoring keeps track of existing stream conditions, detects threats to streams before they become a problem, and helps to evaluate patterns throughout New York State. www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/92229.html
