Watershed groups handing tech to volunteers for better citizen monitoring
Watershed protection groups across the country are collecting water quality data on waterways that might otherwise miss out on monitoring entirely. Some have found that, despite small staffs, they can compile more high-quality data by putting water quality sensors and other professional scientific instruments in the hands of volunteers. 
 
For organizations like the Santa Barbara Channelkeeper, the reasoning for equipping volunteers with electronic handheld meters is clear: 
 
"We really want the data that we're collecting to be utilized," said Ben Pitterle, director of the group's watershed and marine program.
Read MoreResearchers pioneer continuous groundwater quality monitoring in Ontario
As a graduate student in Ontario, Jana Levison manually sampled groundwater wells in a hay field for a week straight. Now an assistant professor in the University of Guelph's School of Engineering, Levison is investigating how a new generation of water quality sensors can move the science forward while cutting the labor back. 
 
Levison said her doctoral work in a crystalline bedrock aquifer showed monthly variations in nitrate — a common groundwater contaminant often sourced to intensive agriculture — and daily variations in E. coli. Those short-term changes got her interested in watching groundwater in a more detailed manner. 
 
"Now we have the equipment that we can do that," Levison said. That equipment includes YSI's EXO multi-parameter sondes and Satlantic's SUNA nitrate sensor.
Read MoreIn Sierra Nevada streams, researchers on the lookout for drought-threatened fish
In the parched hills of the Sierra Nevada, researchers are surveying drought-weakened streams to see what effects long-term dryness is having on fish populations in the region. Their findings so far have been less than stellar, with sparse numbers of fish being counted. 
 
Still, as data collection is progressing, the researchers, who work out of the University of California, Davis’ Center for Watershed Sciences, are gathering insights that could aid in conservation efforts that are expected to grapple with coming climate changes. 
 
The purposes of the investigation are two-fold. “If we ever get rain again, we want to see how well these areas are recovering from drought,” said Rebecca Quinones, a postdoctoral researcher at the center and leader of the project.
