MonitOAR Grass Lake

One example of a special monitoring event that Dakota Water Watch hase done is the MonitOAR Grass Lake event that took place in the summer of 2008. On that day, Dakota Water Watch teamed up with the South Dakota Canoe and Kayak association to collect samples from 19 different sites across Grass Lake. Although sampling is not currently ongoing at Grass Lake, this single day event introduced many different people to basic water sampling techniques and also created a "snapshot" in time as to the conditions on Grass Lake.
