The IOWATER training in Springbrook last weekend was through, covering chemical testing, macroinvertebrate sampling, water flow and habitat assessment. We heard from other Iowans throughout the state who have been involved in water quality monitoring for some time. The next session will take place in October. This is a place where you can meet other Iowans interested in water quality. I met people from two different groups who were already working in my area.
