img_0055-sWorld Water Monitoring Day on Friday, October 15, 2010, is part of a global effort to assess and improve water quality and raise awareness of water quality issues in San Diego and around the earth. San Diego Coastkeeper and Sister Schools of San Diego will host the 9th annual World Water Monitoring Day event in La Jolla Shores from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.

This event features education stations including water quality monitoring activities, the Edible Aquifer, the County’s Splash Lab, the Green Machine, watershed activity and recycle relay with I Love A Clean San Diego and a marine protected areas critter station with Coastkeeper and Birch Aquarium. More than 200 students (elementary, middle and high school) from San Diego County and Tijuana, Mexico will attend.

Countywide approximately 2,000 students monitor their local waterways through their schools during World Water Monitoring Month, which takes place between September 18 and October 18 every year. For more information on World Water Monitoring Day for schools and teachers to participate in the entire monitoring season, check out the San Diego Citizen Water Monitoring Consortium website.

Funding for World Water Monitoring Day at La Jolla Shores in 2010 has been provided in full or in part by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, through an agreement with the State Water Resources Control Board.

San Diego Coastkeeper's efforts have helped to reduce the number of sewage spills by 90% since 2001.
