To ensure that global citizens have clean water for domestic, agricultural, commercial and recreational uses, EPA and America's Clean Water Foundation are inviting people around the world to monitor the water quality of their rivers, lakes, streams, wetlands and coastal waters on October 18 – World Water Monitoring Day.

Volunteers of all ages can obtain a test kit to measure their watershed for four basic indicators of health such as dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity or water clarity and temperature and then enter the results online.

For more information about participating in the event and receiving Monitoring Day kits, visit the World Water Monitoring Day webpage or contact America's Clean Water Foundation Coordinator Ed Moyer at 202-746-8493.
