How to get involved:

Arizona Rivers, is looking for teachers, students, citizen scientists, and student organizations (scouts, 4-H, FFA, science clubs, etc.) who are interested in partnering with volunteer river monitors and local watershed experts to:

• collect water quality data
• investigate riparian ecology and habitats
• monitor stream restoration efforts
• create student-based research projects
• develop local monitoring networks

This is great place-based environmental science opportunity for teachers and students, an innovative way to implement science and math outside a traditional classroom environment and improve your understanding of Arizona’s precious water resources.
