Extensively tested through six years of field use, this completely revised, comprehensive guide gives detailed instruction on watershed inventory & stream monitoring methods. You will learn how to measure the physical, chemical & biological aspects of your local streams & watersheds. After following instructions on making homemade sampling equipment, you can use the dichotomous key to sort good "bugs" from bad "bugs." Sections on how to produce credible & usable data & present that data to decision-makers. The easy-to-read, accessible text is a must for people who want to make a difference in their own watersheds. Designed as a "train the trainer" manual, it is appropriate for advanced middle school through college students. Reproducible data sheets included. Hundreds of fun & educational illustrations & drawings. A valuable companion to the Guide is the Foundation's Streamkeeper video. The 25-minute video starring Bill Nye "The Science Guy" is an upbeat training tool for teachers, community groups & students of all ages who want to learn more about watersheds & how to take effective action to protect them. Nye takes us on a zany journey through a watershed, outlines the three-step process of becoming a Streamkeeper, & discusses basic streamkeeper concepts such as the hydrologic cycle, the role of insects in determining stream health, & the politics of stream care. Graduate Streamkeepers show you how you can make a real difference. This video is designed to stimulate people of all ages to investigate, monitor & take actions on the streams in their own watersheds.
