Stream Pollution Trends SPoT Monitoring Program As discussions around the Bay Delta Conservation Plan and bond issue become more heated, so too have the discussions about the quality of water moving throughout the state watersheds and especially through the delta system. While a constructive dialog about our water and aquatic systems and the effects of urbanization are needed, we have to be careful when interpreting and applying studies and data. The second report from the Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program (SWAMP) on Stream Pollution Trends (SPoT) Monitoring was released last month.

As always, there are a variety of discussions, articles and debate about the quality of water the general public is consuming and continued skepticism that tap water is safe.

IN HONOR OF EARTH DAY!
Another Earth Day celebration recently ended and Babcock Labs wants to remind you of the importance of conservation when it comes to our vital resources, in particular water.
At Babcock Labs, we support education of future scientists and encourage our youth to learn more about water and its role in our society and community. We have included links that we encourage you to share with your own kids, teachers and community leaders who interact with children. Please click on the image below to begin the education.
