Grants to Develop Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring
Iowa Ag Connection - 01/24/2020
The DNR's Watershed Improvement Section is accepting applications for a grant to help develop a Statewide Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring Program. Applications for the grant must be received by Feb. 10. The grant will provide up to $100,000 to a partner that will help carry out two objectives of the Iowa Nonpoint Source Management Plan:
- Develop and implement a statewide campaign to inform people about water quality issues, motivate involvement, and change behavior
- Encourage greater public participation in the monitoring and evaluation of water quality best management practices.
The partner will also provide a volunteer monitoring program that trains local watershed groups how to organize a locally-led volunteer monitoring program, use monitoring equipment, and interpret data.
More requirements of the proposals sought can be found in the applications, available at www.iowadnr.gov/watershed.
Questions on the grant opportunity can be directed to Steve Konrady at Steven.Konrady@dnr.iowa.gov or 515-725-8388.
