Training will be for work in the Upper Green River Basin, whichincludes CM 7-County areas Adair, Casey, Green, Metcalfe, and Taylor Counties By Allison Fleck News from the Kentucky Division of Water The Kentucky Watershed Watch Program is offering free training to persons interested in learning how to take water samples and monitor water quality in the Upper Green River Basin. The training will be held Saturday, April 28, 2012, from 8:15am-5pmCT, in Room 2134 of the Engineering Biologic Science Building, 1500 Chestnut Street, on the Western Kentucky University campus in Bowling Green, KY, Participants are advised to dress for field work, since some of the training will take place at a local stream. Volunteers will be taught to take qualified water samples that will be analyzed by a professional laboratory. They will also learn how to collect basic water quality field data. Watershed Watch volunteers in the Upper Green River Basin participate in three annual sampling events in waterways that flow through Adair, Allen, Barren, Breckenridge, Butler, Casey, Edmonson, Grayson, Green, Hardin, Hart, Larue, Metcalfe, Monroe, Simpson, Taylor, Warren counties. The May samples are tested for pesticides and herbicides, the July samples for pathogens and the September samples for metals and salts. "No previous experience is required to become a Watershed Watch volunteer," said Dale Reynolds, Kentucky Division of Water (DOW) coordinator of the Upper Green River Basin. "We welcome anyone who is willing to pitch in to help protect the waterways of their community." Watershed Watch volunteers in the Upper Green River Basin participate in three annual sampling events in waterways that flow through Adair, Allen, Barren, Breckenridge, Butler, Casey, Edmonson, Grayson, Green, Hardin, Hart, Larue, Metcalfe, Monroe, Simpson, Taylor, Warren counties. The May samples are tested for pesticides and herbicides, the July samples for pathogens and the September samples for metals and salts. "Volunteer activities help scientists understand the effect that weather and land use have on local water bodies," said Paulette Akers, manager of the DOW Watershed Management Branch. "The information they provide allows Kentucky to have an extensive database of current water quality information." Prospective participants are asked to register for the April 28 training event by visiting the Kentucky Watershed Watch website at http://eppcapp.ky.gov/watershed/ and clicking on the Watershed Watch Event Registration button in the lower left-hand side of the window.
