Arizona Rivers

 

Mission:

to facilitate collaborations between teachers/students and scientists/watershed managers to promote long-term research and monitoring of riparian environments in Arizona.

Goals:

• Promote education, monitoring, research and conservation related to Arizona's rivers and riparian habitats.
• Facilitate collaborations between students/teachers, citizen scientists and water professionals who study our rivers.
• Build effective networks of watershed-based mentors to support student and classroom research and education about rivers and riparian areas.
• Encourage the use of best practices related to watershed/riparian conservation and management.

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.
