World Water Monitoring Day
The Water Environment Federation has announced October 18, 2006 as the World Water Monitoring Day. This international outreach program seeks to build public awareness and involvement in protecting water resources around the word. Held annually, it encourages communities to perform basic monitoring tests of local rivers, streams and other water bodies. Since its inception in 2002, more than 80,000 people have participated in 50 countries.
The Pewaukee River Partnership will participate by sponsoring a river monitoring demonstration site at the Outfall behind Chocolate Factory in the Village of Pewaukee. Ray Schwabe, PRP Monitoring Coordinator, explained that the Partnership will have a display showing how the Pewaukee River and its tributaries are monitored each month for temperature, clarity, stream flow and dissolved oxygen. Members of the Pewaukee River Partnership will be available along the river bank to answer questions from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm on October 18th.
