Stream Selfie
Presented By | Izaak Walton League of America |
---|---|
Goal | Map streams across the country and start testing the waters. |
Task | Simply snap a pic of your local stream and share it! |
Where | North America, United States of America |
Description |
What's in YOUR water? We all have the right to know if the streams running through our backyards and neighborhood parks are safe. But there is an alarming lack of up-to-date information about water quality across the country. Stream Selfie is here to bridge that information gap. Stream Selfie connects you with thousands of other citizen scientists to paint a picture of streams across America. Simply snap a pic of your local stream and share it here. Your photo is step one in our effort to check the health of every stream in the country – far more streams than state and local agencies have the resources to check! Thousands of people are working toward a common goal: clean water. Will you join us? |
