Wastewater treatment provider NEW water collects and treats 41 million gallons of water per day for the Green Bay region. Watershed Programs Manager, Erin Houghton, said the data collected by students is valuable for the community.
“The work that the high school students are doing today and with the volunteer monitoring program really does help watershed programs like NEW waters to really understand the trends in water quality in our region," explained Houghton. "We’re very interested in understanding the excess nutrients and sediment that find their way into our waterways and cause water quality issues both in the streams, rivers and downstream in the lower (Green) bay.”
