Join us as we introduce the Izaak Walton League’s new Nitrate Watch community science program and talk about efforts to protect our water from nitrate pollution. We’ll hear from Alicia Vasto of the Iowa Environmental Council about Iowa’s past and present efforts to address nitrate pollution, the Council’s policy recommendations, and how to be an advocate for Iowa’s waters.
Your kit will include a bottle containing 25 nitrate test strips which you can use to test your water source(s) throughout the year. You’ll also receive postcards explaining how to use your nitrate test strips and how to share your Nitrate Watch results on the Clean Water Hub.
Your kit will include four test strips so you can test your waterway throughout the season. You’ll also receive a chart to help you interpret your results and a postcard with instructions for completing a Salt Watch test and reporting your findings.
