The Greenwood stormwater department is helping teach interested volunteers how to monitor water systems.
Hoosier Riverwatch Volunteer Stream Monitoring is 8 a.m. May 12.
The class will introduce you to hands-on water quality monitoring methods, aquatic habitat, chemical and biological assessment techniques.
Sessions are conducted both indoors and outside. The first 20 people over the age of 18 are welcome to attend. Once trained, certified educators are qualified to teach these methods and topics to their students.
Participants should bring waterproof boots, bug spray, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, drinking water and lunch or snacks to the workshop.
They will receive a printed training manual, a certification card and access to the Hoosier Riverwatch online database so they can enter water quality data. They also will become eligible to use Hoosier Riverwatch monitoring equipment, teach Hoosier Riverwatch monitoring techniques to others and take advantage of advanced training workshops.
The class is free, but RSVPs must be made to 317-887- 4711, or [email protected].
