Colorado Water Sentinels: Your Opportunity to Help Protect Fountain Creek!

Volunteer collecting water samples at Colorado Springs on the Fountain Creek/River.
The Rocky Mountain Chapter is one of four groups selected by the Sierra Club from many applicants to receive a Water Sentinels grant to help develop a volunteer water quality monitoring program.

Water is a critical priority in our state, with regards to both its quantity and quality.

Our compact kit used to test water on the Fountain Creek/River.
This grant provides funding to monitor a portion of the Fountain Creek, with the hope and expectation that the knowledge and experience gained through this project will help people act to protect the river and other rivers in the state. We're testing the river for e.coli, mercury, arsenic, phosphorous, and TKN.

To make this program successful, we need volunteers who are willing to commit to attend one training session and at least three monitoring activities. This project will provide a great opportunity to get your hands dirty and feet wet.

Volunteers will measure stream flow and collect water samples for lab testing. Please join us in this fun and meaningful project!
