Pewaukee River Partnership Inc.

Ray Schwabe, River Monitoring Chairman, has announced that the Pewaukee River Partnership will participate in the World Water Monitoring Day event again this year.

PRP sponsored one monitoring team in 2006. This year PRP will sponsor 9 teams. In addition to their usual monitoring duties, each of the teams will include PH testing for the event. They will report their monitoring results on the Internet at http://www.worldwatermonitoringday.org/.

This event is a program of the Water Environment Federation (WEF). "Adopted by WEF in July 2006, World Water Monitoring Day (WWMD) is an international outreach program that builds public awareness and involvement in protecting water resources around the world. Held annually between September 18 and October 18, the program engages communities in monitoring the condition of local rivers, streams, estuaries and other water bodies. Since its inception in 2002, more than 80,000 people have participated in 50 countries. "
