Water Action Volunteers

To help protect water, we’re going to need a lot of volunteers—and a little bit of chemistry.

 

THE PROBLEM: When it comes to keeping Earth’s water clean, a good place to start is that little stream in your backyard. Small streams and rivers join up to create bigger rivers, which feed into lakes and oceans. Keeping track of these streams and rivers can tell scientists a lot about the health of larger waterways. The tricky part is, there are a lot of them. Enter the Water Action Volunteers.
