Youth Share Perspectives on Local Water Quality
Over 200 students from throughout the Red River Basin annually gather to participate in the River Watch Forum.
The River Watch program is a hands-on, education-based water quality monitoring program that imparts an appreciation of the Red River and its watershed.
River Watch is designed to build leadership capacity, and connect students to local water management organizations, residents, community planners, and governmental officials.
During the forum, River Watch teams from high schools will summarize and showcase results from their river/stream monitoring efforts and demonstrate their enthusiasm and knowledge of their local watersheds.
Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards will be given for the best displays that achieve the goals of sound scientific inquiry and effective educational content.
