Volunteer Roundtable Group Discussions
Volunteer water quality monitoring in Iowa has experienced explosive growth since the turn of the millennium. Today, many IOWATER monitors have made a name for themselves by bringing specialized expertise, organized community events, and a renewed appreciation for our state's water resources to the table. Please join volunteers and staff alike as they share their experiences and insight in informal, roundtable discussions.
