SUMMARY:DATE CHANGE | WEBINAR - Understanding & Advancing AWW Water Chemistry Monitoring: Turbidity\, Secchi\, and Salinity
DESCRIPTION:DATE CHANGE | Webinar will now be Wednesday\, October 22\, 2025 from 12-1pm   \nLearn how to interpret water chemistry water quality test results (specifically turbidity\, Secchi disk depth\, and salinity) and adapt a monitoring plan to better identify sources of nonpoint source pollution. \nJoin us for this one-hour webinar where we will discuss how to adapt your water monitoring plan when you find a water quality issue through water chemistry testing. We will provide an overview of how to use the Online AWW Water Data Tools to understand AWW water chemistry monitoring data\, how to conduct strategic sampling to narrow down potential pollution sources\, and how you can seek out solutions to water quality issues. \nThis webinar will be most applicable to AL Water Watch Water Chemistry Monitors and members of their watershed groups who utilize the data. However\, anyone wanting to learn more about how to use water data to identify and pollution issues in their watersheds will benefit. \nZoom registration is required: https://aub.ie/waterchemistrywebinar3_2025 \nIf you are interested in a recording of the first two webinars in the series covering temperature and dissolved oxygen\, and pH\, alkalinity\, and hardness\, please contact us: awwprog@auburn.edu or 334-844-4785
