Jacksonville River Monitors

Jacksonville River Monitors The Jacksonville River Monitors are a water quality monitoring group in NE Alabama. Our monitors are certified in AWWA water chemistry and bacteriology.

Established in February of 2014, the JRM are a group of citizen and student scientists concerned about water quality and land-use management in the Coosa River Basin. Our monitors receive training through the Alabama Water Watch Association in water chemistry (pH, temp, turbidity, alkalinity, dissolved oxygen, hardness) and bacteriology (fecal coliform, E. coli) methods for fresh water. Founded by

geographers at Jacksonville State University, the JRM are also interested in how hazards and land-use affect water quality. To that end, we are also interested in mapping observe changes changes in our environments when we see changes in water quality data. These are projects in applied geographical methods are in the works! If you are interested in participating and keeping freshwater systems in Alabama the Beautiful clean and healthy, come and join us today! Our training sessions for concerned citizens and students are publicized through this website.

We are aware of the sewage leak and fish kill at Haynes Branch, Ladiga Trail Bridge. Jacksonville Water Works have fixed the leak. However, the water at Ladiga bridge and downstream (shown in light red on the map) could still be contaminated. It will take a little time for the contamination to dilute and flow down stream. Please don't swim or allow your pets to drink from the water.
