Water Quality Community Scientist Training

Become a citizen scientist! Registration required.

This is a free Texas Stream Team Standard Core citizen scientist training. Standard Core citizen scientists are certified by completing a three-phase training that measures the physical and chemical parameters of water. Standard Core monitoring involves performing tests for parameters such as conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, total depth, water and air temperature, and water transparency using a chemical Standard Core kit. In addition to these parameters, Standard Core citizen scientists also conduct various field observations.

Prerequisites:

• To attend this training, individuals must be at least 14 years of age.
