Help us measure the “Leading Edge” of the Santa Fe River as it changes through the seasons!
What is the “leading edge?” It’s the location in the river channel where the water stops flowing. This location can change quite a bit depending on upstream releases, stormwater runoff, and temperature.
Our friends at River Source helped us set up this exciting community monitoring project, which will help us understand the seasonal fluctuations of river flows in response to releases from the Nichols Reservoir.
Water quality and quantity
What do we measure when trying to understand water quality and quantity? What does the data mean? Learning about the ins and outs of monitoring the river and watershed is important for adults and youth alike. As we move into a drier environment in the coming years, SFWA is prioritizing educating the public on issues facing our water resources.
SFWA will be hosting free water quality monitoring workshop for formal and informal educators in the coming months. Sign up for our newsletter below to stay up to date on all of our upcoming education opportunities.
We are also available to go into classrooms or meet students at the river! If you are a teacher and interested in student monitoring education, please reach out to us.
