Pollution Prevention
Extension programs nationwide operate on the belief that water quality can be assessed and pollution prevented in part through volunteer monitoring and stewardship. Washington State University has supported both volunteer water quality monitoring programs and programs that enable citizens to be stewards of land and water. Many County Extensions offer programs to train and support citizens to conduct water quality monitoring. Monitoring can be as simple as observing the changes in streamside vegetation over time, or collecting chemical and physical data about the water itself. Stewardship programs, targeted towards landowners as well as interested citizens, train individuals in all aspects of water quality or watershed protection. These citizens protect water quality on their own property and/or teach others in their communities how to do the same.
