Behind the equipment, reports, and data is our incredible water quality monitoring team. Staff and students alike install water sampling equipment, collect water samples, engage with community, develop new ag-tech, practice technical lab skills, learn from each other, and share laughs along the way.

Happy National Water Quality Month to the AWQP team!

As Colorado endures another wildfire season, we remind our community of the ways in which water quality is impacted by wildfire events.

While wildfires often create cause for concern of air quality, water quality is also directly impacted by fires. Both physical and chemical water health measures including sediment loads, pH, erosion, and more can be significantly altered by fire and impact downstream watersheds and irrigation water systems.

For more information about water quality after wildfires, these resources are a great place to start.

August is National Water Quality Month! 💧

National Water Quality Month is an opportunity to pause and reflect on how important water is to our every day lives and the functioning of the ecosystems around us. Follow along this month as we share how the AWQP protects water quality via research, collaboration, technological advancement, and more.

One way that the AWQP makes "every drop count" is our collaboration with and participation in the CSU-TAPS program.

A part of the Irrigation Innovation Consortium, TAPS is a sprinkler corn farm management competition focused on advancing precision agricultural management skills that gives participants the opportunity to work closely with soil moisture probe technology, test out irrigation management strategies, and support research on irrigation efficiency.

Undergraduate Research Assistant Kenzie Maruca shares her hands on experience assembling and deploying data loggers and how this experience has strengthened her understanding of the applications of technology in agriculture.

Data collection through the loggers allows for better quantitative comprehension of the physical field components, including soil, air, water, and more.
