Site Selection

Here are a number of other things you should be aware of related to baseline monitoring.  

Site Selection:  Where will you monitor?

A WAV volunteer monitors one or more sites as an individual or part of a 2-3 person team.  Volunteers monitor streams and rivers that can be safely entered while wearing hip waders.  Many WAV stream monitors choose a site based on their personal interest or proximity to their home or school.

Some programs work with local and state agencies to coordinate monitoring locations.
