Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network - Summit Soil and Water Conservation District

"This data was collected by ​Summit Soil and Water Conservation District as a part of the Lake Erie Volunteer Network Sampling program. Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network (LEVSN) is a regional community of practice that empowers community members to collect, share, and engage with water quality data for the conservation and enrichment of Lake Erie.

​Summit Soil and Water Conservation District (SSWCD) was established to address conservation needs in Summit County, providing local leadership for soil and water resources conservation and water quality enhancement. LEVSN supported SSWCD in developing a Stream Monitoring Volunteer Program to enhance the stewardship of Summit County watersheds by increasing knowledge of local water quality. By participating in LEBAF, SSWCD provides credible water quality data to drive necessary stewardship changes that support watershed health both locally and regionally. In addition, SSWCD documents water quality trends over time and uses the data as an evaluation tool for improvement projects.

This dataset includes only the 4 core sampling parameters collected as a part of the LEVSN program.
