River Monitoring
Volunteer Citizen Water Monitors take water samples at designated sampling
sites from Port Republic, VA, to Harper's Ferry, WV, twice per month. These
samples are analyzed in our laboratory and problems are reported to the proper
authorities. Data are being collected to help characterize the river and
track its progress. The volunteer citizen water monitors donate their time and
energy to support this extensive effort and to help protect and restore the
aquatic environment of the Shenandoah River. Volunteers are
given a “Honorary” membership
to the FOSR for their dedication.
