The
Student Watershed Watch (SWW) helps our region’s young people to appreciate
our streams, so they may grow to be wise stewards. Each year the SWW brings
hundreds of students together from urban and rural school districts in
the Maumee Area of Concern to learn about our local environment. Highlights
of this two-part program includes water quality testing performed by Junior
and Senior High School classes at local stream sites. Students test for
temperature, turbity, dissolved oxygen, pH, and many other parameters
using standardized test kits to determine the health of the water. Benthic
samples are collected from the stream bottoms for analyzing macroinvertebrate
communities. The program culminates at a Student Summit where student
representatives from participating schools release and compare their results.
Students also have an opporunity to network with their peers and local
professionals during the poster and workshop sessions of the Summit. Information
from previous years including participating schools, sampling sites, and
results can be downloaded by
contacting Matt Horvat.
