Project Taps Citizen Scientists
To Gauge Water Quality Across Nebraska

A Team Of Researchers At The University Of Nebraska - Lincoln Needs The Help Of Curious People

The Citizen Scientist Program is a collaboration between the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the Department of Environmental, Agricultural and Occupational Health at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and GC Resolve.  Other participants include various High School Science and FFA Students, various organizations, and dozens of volunteer Citizen Scientists. 

The reason we are testing private wells on farms is to give an opportunity for farm families and rural residents to increase awareness about rising contaminants in Eastern Nebraska, and to help improve their health by identifying potential contamination in drinking water supplies from excess nutrients.
