MPCA Volunteer Water Monitoring Stations

Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Volunteer Water Monitors measure the clarity of lakes and streams, collecting valuable data that is used to make decisions on watershed protection and restoration. The enrollment map shows high priority stream stations and lakes in need of volunteer monitors, and displays locations that are currently monitored by volunteers. The data and report map provides links to a data summary of the previous monitoring year for actively monitored sites. And the transparency and trends maps provide views of the summarized monitoring data.<br/> <br/> Monitoring is quick and easy, and the MPCA provides equipment free of charge.
