Michigan Chapter


Water Sentinels

Yellow Dog River, Marquette County, MichiganMichigan Water Sentinels are making a difference.

Michigan’s Water Sentinels work to protect and restore waters we live near and care about.  We test waters all over our state, at our southern border, in Mid-Michigan, the Thumb, and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. We conduct baseline monitoring, monitor polluting animal factories, and notify state agencies about pollution when we find it.  We teach students how to study their water, advise on public water policy, submit comments on toxic cleanups, water permits, the state’s official list of impaired waters, even air quality permits that could harm our waters. We educate others about what we learn, and we have fun doing it!  There’s much to do.  We need your help.  Click the links for details, and contact Rita Jack if you want to help.

Water Monitoring Webinars Will Begin October 13 at 7pm ET

A webinar is a telephone and Internet-based seminar, where participants dial in on a toll-free number, and follow along on their home computers.  No special software willl be required, as we'll simply use a document that's viewable on free Adobe Reader. No high-speed connection will be necessary, though we do urge you to download the document to your computer ahead of time.  Contact Rita Jack to register by email or phone at 517.484.2372.  Click here for more information, dates, times, and topics.  Please check back soon, as additional documents will be added over the next few days.

 Contact Rita Jack for more information.
