Wabash Sampling Blitz

Since the fall of 2009, volunteers throughout the Region of the Great Bend of the Wabash River watershed complete a snapshot assessment of water quality throughout the watershed. In the spring of 2011, we expanded to include sample sites within the Wildcat Creek watershed. Volunteers monitor temperature, water cloudiness (turbidity), nutrient levels, and bacteria concentrations.

The sampling headquarters for this event will be at Lilly Nature center on Friday, September 19th and at Mar Len Park on Saturday, September 20th. The event spans two days, and volunteers can sample at the time that is most convenient to them during those two days.
