Save Our Streams (S.O.S.) Program Clean Water Hub Reporting IWLA Save Our Streams (S O S) Program is the only nationwide program training volunteers to protect waterways from pollution and bring information about water quality to their communities. This month, Big Hunting Creek, will be chemically monitored for possible pollution. We would like to see our program expand to include biological monitoring of macro-invertebrates, and perhaps add a stream in south county. Generally, biological monitoring requires the year round involvement of dedicated volunteers. Training is now online; with field training beginning in select locations. For national IWLA stream monitoring information see https://www.iwla.org/water/stream-monitoring/streammonitoring-101.
