Early Influence of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Volunteer Water Monitoring Programs in the United States and Canada

This survey was carried out in follow up to an April 2020 webinar to assess impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic had on volunteer water monitoring programs by early-summer 2020. The study sought to understand the extent to which best practices identified through the webinar had been implemented and to assess other types of outcomes and impacts that had resulted for volunteer water monitoring programs as a result of the pandemic.
