RiverWatch West

The RiverWatch Team goes out every month to collect water quality data to document the health of the San Diego River. These trends inform the management of the River, and the RiverWatch teams can also serve as an early alert system for emerging issues. We welcome you joining the team this month to help us continue this important effort (no experience necessary!), and we hope you’ll enjoy the experience and join again in the future.

This small but mighty team collects samples at 9 different locations in East County and the West Team goes to 7 locations in San Diego, led by our very amazing volunteer leaders. The team drives between locations, and there is a short walk/hike from the cars to the sampling locations at each site. If you are over 18 and vaccinated, carpooling options may be available, or you can caravan in your own car.
