CITIZEN WATER QUALITY MONITORING
Four times each year, f
amilies, couples, and individuals collect important data at their adopted sites. The data is compiled to tell an ongoing story of conditions in the watershed. Currently, 14 sites from Yosemite National Park to the north fork of the Merced River are being tested for air and water temperature, pH level, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, and turbidity.
View the data our citizen monitors have collected from 2004 to present.
