Volunteer responsibilities include attending a training on sampling protocols, collecting water samples and recording flow observations via an online submission form for each of the eight biweekly sampling events from late April to early August, and properly storing, preserving, and potentially transporting samples.
If you do become a LaRosa partner organization, responsibilities include nominating sites for water quality monitoring; training and overseeing volunteers in collecting water samples; organizing and storing water samples for pick-up; tracking sample analysis results and flow observation submissions in coordination with the LPP coordinator; and disseminating the results to the public.
