Introduction to the Colorado River Watch Network The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) is charged with protecting the water resources of the Colorado River basin for current and future generations. The Colorado River Watch Network contributes to this goal as an integral part of LCRA’s Water Resource Protection branch. The Colorado River Watch Network (CRWN or River Watch) is an environmental education and data collection program consisting of students, teachers, partnering organizations and citizen volunteers who regularly monitor the water quality along the lower Colorado River basin. The network covers 660 miles of the Texas Colorado River from above the Highland Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. CRWN volunteers collect water samples from monitoring locations along the Highland Lakes, the Colorado River and numerous contributing tributaries. The data is used by LCRA to supplement its own professional monitoring efforts. In addition to providing valuable water quality information to LCRA staff, CRWN volunteers serve as educated monitors who can recognize potential pollution problems at their monitoring locations. CRWN’s mission is to support community-based environmental stewardship by providing volunteers with the information, resources and training necessary to monitor and protect the waterways of the lower Colorado River watershed. CRWN’s goals are: • Maintain a motivated volunteer monitoring network committed to preserving the integrity of the Colorado River watershed. • Provide water quality and environmental educational opportunities to the communities in the LCRA service area. • Complement and assist LCRA with its watershed protection strategies and act as an early warning system alerting LCRA to potential water quality threats. The program educates CRWN volunteers about the importance of water quality and encourages them to become involved in local environmental issues. River Watch volunteers act as stewards of their waterways while collecting and reporting valuable information. The program is dedicated to the collection of accurate and reliable water quality data. This manual is a guide to proper testing procedures and was designed to supplement a formal training in proper data collection techniques. For further information, please contact your CRWN staff support person at:

Monitoring Basics Why Monitor?
Reasons for conducting water quality monitoring vary depending on the individual monitor and the chosen site and its primary use. Typical reasons include the desire for the development of baseline data for a site, the ability to document water quality changes over time and the need to screen for potential water quality problems. Added benefits of participating in a water quality monitoring program include a heightened awareness of watershed functions and a commitment to environmental stewardship.
Water Quality Parameters Tested
The Colorado River Watch Network currently monitors four core parameters of water quality. They are dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH and specific conductance. Additional tests conducted at some sites are nitrates, E. coli bacteria, salinity, Secchi depth or transparency, watershed and stream surveys and macroinvertebrate assessments. Physical observations are also reported including water color, odor, significant rainfall, and algae abundance.
Using Your Data
The data submitted by monitors is stored in a database from which trend analyses can be generated. Selected monitoring data is used to compile monthly water quality reports for communities. To ensure that your data is of the highest quality, it is important that you follow the procedures in this manual. When working with students be sure to observe their techniques and, if necessary, run duplicates of the tests to ensure both precision and accuracy. See “Data Management” for information about online data entry.
Site Selection
The River Watch program strives to maintain a representative geographical distribution of monitoring locations throughout the lower Colorado River basin. Maintaining a long-term site data record is also a priority. CRWN staff will assist monitors with the selection of their monitoring location. The following are important considerations for site selection: •
How long is the volunteer able to commit to the program? (CRWN requires a twoyear commitment)
•
Is the site safe and accessible? Does it have public access?
•
Is there a specific concern in the area?
•
Is there an existing site established at the proposed location or has there been one in the past? (CRWN or other monitoring programs)
•
Does the site meet your monitoring goals while providing LCRA with meaningful water quality information?

Monitoring Consistency Requirements
As long as data is submitted regularly, supplies will be refreshed as needed. The monitor agreement requires a two year commitment of once monthly monitoring and data submittal. If extenuating circumstances prevent fulfilling the volunteer commitment, please contact your support staff. If a monitor does not submit data for 3 months, CRWN staff will initiate contact with the monitor. After 6 months or if annual expectations are not met, equipment may be retrieved.
Establish Sampling Frequency Once the commitment level of the potential monitor has been determined, it is important to establish a sampling protocol. It is necessary to collect water quality information for at least 12 consecutive months in order to witness the seasonal influence on water quality. CRWN requires each monitoring location to be tested at least once per month, preferably at regular intervals. It is important for each monitoring event to occur at approximately the same time of day. Water quality is dynamic and is influenced by changes in multiple factors. It is helpful if a standard collection time can be established. When collecting a water sample, it is necessary to follow all instructions each time a sample is collected. This helps to ensure the collection of reliable and accurate CRWN volunteer data. This includes providing prompt, complete data submittals after each monitoring event.
Monitoring when there is no Flow, in Dry or Rainy Conditions If there is no flow at a stream site, and accessible, isolated pools remain in the stream bed, collect and report data as normal making sure to comment on the low to no flow condition of the stream. Pools may represent natural low-flow conditions in Texas streams, and the chemistry of these pools will reveal natural background conditions. Additionally, if your normal monitoring site is dry but there is a pool up or downstream from your usual monitoring location, you may monitor there IF IT IS SAFE and within 1/4 of a mile. If you are unable to collect other water quality parameters because the stream bed holds no water, submit date, time and the air temperature and indicate flow severity as dry. Samples may be collected immediately after or during a rain event as long as conditions are safe.

Safety and Equipment Management General Safety Precautions
Nothing is more important to the River Watch than the safety of its participants. Monitors should never put themselves at risk to collect water quality data. Common field hazards include fire ants, bees and wasps, spiders, snakes, poison ivy, steep, rocky or slick banks, and intense sun. Monitoring sites are sometimes located in remote areas, and the River Watch strongly encourages participants to monitor with a partner. If there is any question about the safety of a location, monitors should contact CRWN staff and discuss their concerns before proceeding to monitor. Always let someone else know where you are, when you intend to return, and what they should do if you don’t come back at the appointed time. If possible, carry a cell phone so you can call for help if you need it.
Try to monitor with at least one partner.
Have a first aid kit handy. Know any important medical conditions of team members (e.g., heart conditions, diabetes, or allergic reactions to bee stings) and bring along any doctorprescribed medications that might be needed. It is best if at least one team member has first aid/CPR training. Listen to weather reports.

Be sure your car doesn’t pose a hazard to other drivers
such as a watertight bag you keep in a pouch strapped to your waist. Without proper precautions, wallet, keys and phone might end up downstream.
Put your wallet, keys and cell phone in a safe place,
Be wary of passing traffic if you are sampling from a bridge. Never lean over bridge rails unless you are firmly anchored to the ground or the bridge with good hand and foot holds. Do not walk on unstable stream banks. Disturbing these banks can accelerate erosion and might prove dangerous if a bank collapses. Disturb streamside vegetation as little as possible. Be very careful when walking in the stream itself. Rock-bottomed streams can be very slippery and can contain deep pools; muddy-bottomed streams also might prove treacherous in areas where mud, silt or sand has accumulated in sinkholes. If you must cross the stream, use a walking stick to steady yourself and to probe for deep water or muck. Never wade in swift or high water. Do not monitor if the stream is at flood stage.

Never cross private property without the permission of the landowner. Better yet, sample only at
public access points such as bridge or road crossings or public parks.
Watch for irate dogs, farm animals, wildlife (particularly snakes), and insects such as ticks, hornets, fire ants and wasps. Know what to do if you get bitten or stung, especially if you are allergic!
Wear boots and light-colored long pants and long-sleeved shirts to minimize your exposure to insects. Spray pant legs and sleeves with insect repellent, if necessary.

Protecting Your Equipment and Reagents Keep Equipment Clean
Thoroughly rinse test tubes, vials and bottles after each test with distilled water. Use a bottle brush for test tubes. If the pH comparator and nitrate tests are included in your tests, label 1 test tube for pH and one for NO3. Carefully follow the cleaning procedures included with each protocol. Remove debris and used materials from kit after each use.
Close All Containers
After use, tightly close all chemical containers. Do not switch the caps (this can contaminate the reagents). It may help to label the reagent caps to prevent confusion.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures
Do not expose chemicals to direct sunlight for long periods of time. Do not leave kits in the car. Protect all supplies from extreme temperatures by storing at room temperature.
Watch Expiration Dates
Expiration dates are marked on chemical reagents, calibration solutions and Coliscan Easygel™. Please become familiar with these dates and indicate with your data submittal a month or two before the expiration date that you need replacement reagents or solutions. If you find you have expired reagents, monitor and make that notation on your data sheet.

Proper Waste Disposal Dissolved Oxygen, Calibration Standard Solutions, pH and LaMotte Nitrates: When running these tests, consolidate the waste into a single, clearly marked container with a lid. After completing the tests, the waste can be rinsed down a municipal waste system drain with plenty of water (a dilution of about five parts tap water to one part waste is advised to neutralize the acidic nature of the waste). This is not a hazardous waste, but one should take precautions when handling the liquid due to the caustic nature of the reagents. Monitors should NOT pour waste solutions on the ground or into the stream. River Watch advises participants NOT to empty waste into a septic system, as the chemicals may interfere with the biological decomposition processes. CHEMets Nitrate test disposal: If you conduct this optional test, mixing the waste products from the DO test with the CHEMets nitrate test may create gas products with an unpleasant odor and/or could potentially chemically react. CHEMets waste should be poured into a separate labelled waste bottle to be collected by CRWN staff at the annual site visit. Do not pour bottle contents down the drain. Thoroughly wrap glass ampoule in paper towel and place in a sealed plastic bag to discard in trash. E. coli bacteria:
Used Coliscan Easygel™ containers and; pipettes may be recycled, and Whirl Pak™ bags can be directly disposed of in any trash receptacle. Any used petri dishes with bacteria colonies should be disinfected with alcohol or bleach then sealed in plastic bags and placed in a trash bin. ALWAYS WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER SAMPLING, CONDUCTING THE CHEMICAL TESTS AND HANDLING PROCESSED PETRI DISHES.
