Water Quality Monitoring

The health of the Verde River depends on understanding what’s happening in the water. Community scientists and staff collect samples throughout the watershed to monitor nutrients, bacteria levels, temperature, and other indicators of river health.

This data helps guide restoration work, identify potential threats, and protect the water that wildlife and local communities depend on.
