Field Manual for Water Quality Monitoring: An Environmental Education Program for Schools, 12th Edition

This field manual details nine chemical/physical water quality tests and methods for biological monitoring, showing how to perform tests and calculate results, and explains methods for assessment of toxins using a bioassay, studying benthic macroinvertebrates, and coordinating educational activities with land use practices. Two case studies show how the curriculum has been used regionally and internationally. Material can be used with middle school through graduate students. The manual is used in many national and international programs linked through Global Rivers Environmental Education Network (GREEN). GREEN is a program under the umbrella of Earth Force, a national, nonprofit organization committed to developing environmental stewardship and citizenship.
