This schedule for water monitoring workshops was listed in the Spring 2003
Sierran. However, I listed it incorrectly as "Level 2". Please note this
is "Level 1".
Also, there has been a recent addition to the water monitoring program. The
Standing Waters Module, which includes assessment of lakes and ponds, will
be incorporated into IOWATER Level 1 workshops. In the past, these
workshops have focused mainly on streams.
If you are already a Level 1 Certified Citizen Monitor but haven't attended
a Standing Waters Module, please feel free to join for an hour or so after
the second day of any of the workshops listed below. If you are interested
in becoming a certified lake monitor, please call or e-mail Jack Gautsch
ahead of time so she will have enough equipment on hand at (515)281-4476 or
