VIRGINIA Save Our
Streams monitors the water quality of
Virginia's streams and educates the public
about the importance of clean water. Virginians
have the right to know whether or not streams
are safe for swimming, fishing, playing, and
drinking. Also, having site-specific and timely
water quality information allows us to identify
pollution problems, determine how to restore
streams, and assess the success of restoration
efforts.
Our more than 600 volunteers collect
information at approximately 400 stream sites.
We work with everyone from individuals to
agencies to ensure that future generations
inherit improved and protected streams, rivers,
and estuaries across Virginia.
