WELCOME!

Mission: This blog was designed to help make monitoring fun and easy! Post questions, events, stories, etc. to help foster our water monitoring community.

About us: We at MT Watercourse (housed at Montana State University in Bozeman) have been involved in water monitoring since the 1990s. Now, we have support from a variety of private and public funds to help YOU with your water monitoring efforts! Learn more about us here.

Every month, blog participants* will be entered in a raffle to win $500 for their water monitoring program. The more you blog, the more chances you have to win. Thank you for the funds, EPA! A new winner will be randomly selected on the first of every month starting in August. Check out the blog to see if you won!

Ready... set... BLOG!

You can be entered in the raffle by:
1) Posting an event, question, reply or story to this blog
2) Attending or hosting a water monitoring-related event (just blog a line that you attended)
3) Monitoring (again, just blog a line that you monitored your stream)
4) Submitting your data (just blog it!)
5) Adding a friend or colleague to our blog (just blog a line that you added someone)
6) Participating in our monthly water monitoring conference call (coming in August)

If you have other ideas on ways to participate please let us know... via this blog, of course!

*You knew there was a catch right? You must be a MT resident or perform monitoring activities in MT, and the funds must go towards a water monitoring related purpose. A winner will be chosen from the previous month's contributors (August winners will be based on July participants and so on.) Each contribution counts as one entry in the raffle. That's not too unreasonable right?
