Central Iowa Sierra Group Water Quality Monitoring Training at the Nature Center in the Raccoon River Park. On January 29 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at the Raccoon River Park Nature Lodge in West Des Moines, we will explain our water quality monitoring program and train volunteers. We have had tremendous participation in the past and need new volunteers. The training explains the equipment used for determining temperature, pH, levels of dissolved oxygen, phosphate, ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, and turbidity. The training is organized by Debbie Neustadt. She is a Level II monitor in the IOWATER program. Call her at 265-2018 for directions. The Nature Lodge is in the Raccoon River Park. The address of the park is 2500 Grand Ave. Posted by Jane Clark at [log in to unmask] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To get off the IOWA-TOPICS list, send any message to: [log in to unmask]
