Connecticut is fortunate to be a water-rich state, home to over 7,772 miles of rivers and streams. One of the CT DEEP Monitoring and Assessment Program’s (MAP) primary tasks is to conduct water quality monitoring to evaluate the physical, chemical and biological conditions of all waters in the State as part of Clean Water Act (CWA) requirements. Given limited staff resources, this wealth of water resources presents a challenge to achieve this CWA goal. One way MAP has enhanced assessments is by utilizing citizen scientist data to work towards this goal.
