Event Calendar

2024 Sampling Events
Kentucky Watershed Watch encourages all samplers to collect monitoring data during three annually coordinated events. Beginning in July 2024, samplers will have a one-month window during each of these events to collect and submit their data.

Spring Sampling Event from May 5 through May 12
July Sampling Event (anytime during the month of July)
Registration closed on JUNE 21. Please email contact@kywater.org if you need sampling support.
NOTE: The new database is not ready for use, so we are asking samplers to upload the completed Data Form using this link and retain it for your records. We are hoping to be able to invite samplers to the database later this summer, at which time you will be able to enter your data.
