Help us monitor the health of a local stream! There are approximately 3,000 miles of streams and 100,000 storm drains in Mecklenburg County. We have an extensive surface water quality monitoring program, but we need your help monitoring this vast network of streams and storm drains. Participating in Volunteer Monitoring is easy... just go look at a stream! All ages are welcome in the program, but training is best with 8 years or older.
