World Water Monitoring Challenge™ is an international education and outreach program that builds public awareness and involvement in protecting water resources around the world by engaging citizens to conduct basic monitoring of their local water bodies.
In 2012, approximately 250,000 visits were made by participants to monitoring sites in 66 countries. We challenge you to test the quality of your waterways, share your findings, and protect our most precious resource!
