What are good indicators of Water Quality?
Fish and other aquatic life can be direct indicators of the health and quality of our lakes, rivers, and streams. While healthy critters live in healthy waterways, scientists know to look for contaminates where sickly ones occur. It is important to monitor our waters and identify areas in need of improvement. A variety of projects, in both rural and urban areas, help improve our water, i.e. conservation farming practices, demonstration farms, tree planting, stream rehabilitation, environmental planning, etc.
