Volunteers protecting Kentucky Waterways
The Water Watch program is dedicated to helping you protect Kentucky's streams, rivers, lakes and wetlands. The Water Watch program accomplishes its goals through volunteer monitoring, community education initiatives and community leadership and action.
Learn more about how the Division of Water uses monitoring data collected by volunteers to (1) delineate and characterize watersheds, (2) screen for water quality problems and (3) measure baseline conditions and trends. The "Agency Guidance for Use of Volunteering Monitoring Data and Reports" is available in PDF format. Use the free Adobe Reader (icon on left) to download the document.
