USU Extension - Water Quality

Monitoring season is on the way. Spring training is underway and we’d love to have you! Email: [email protected]

💙We LOVE Utah’s water stewards! Sending a big thank you to our incredible Utah Water Watch/HAB Squad monitoring volunteers, Wings & Water volunteer naturalist guides, Pack It Out volunteers & partners, Stream Side Science educators, and All Y’all Water Folks!

Thanks to you, communities across Utah are learning, monitoring, protecting, and caring for the waters we all depend on. Your time, expertise, and heart for stewardship truly make a difference. Thanks for being in the boat of water stewardship in Utah!🚣‍♀️

If you’re still testing the waters, dive in with us! Training resumes this month.💙

Winter choices matter—especially for our water 💧❄️

At Winter Water Fest, families can play, create, and learn through hands-on activities that connect winter fun to healthy waterways. Join us and see how simple actions make a big splash!
