Great Volunteer Opportunity

Hoosier Riverwatch

Hoosier Riverwatch is a state-sponsored water quality monitoring initiative.  The program was started in 1994 to increase public awareness of water quality issues and concerns by training volunteers to monitor stream water quality.  Hoosier Riverwatch collaborates with agencies and volunteers to:

Provide education and training on watersheds and the relationship between land use and water quality.
Increase public involvement in water quality issues.
Promote responsible stewardship of water resources.
Provide water quality information to citizens and government officials working to protect Indiana’s rivers and streams.
Hoosier Riverwatch is sponsored by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources - Division of Fish and Wildlife.  Funding is provided in part by the Federal Sport Fish Restoration Fund.

The IUSB Environmental Justice League has two members that are already trained on the use of the water quality monitoring equipment and will begin sampling our stretch of the St. Joseph River on Sunday afternoon from 1-3pm.  This is a great opportunity to connect with nature and other students.  Some students will be given the opportunity to learn how to use the equipment, while the rest of the group will be cleaning up the banks.  The meeting spot is between Northside and the Shurz Library at 1pm.  I encourage you all to come out and support IUSB and the environment.
