This year marks the 15th year LCRA has been involved with the Colorado River Watch Network (CRWN) – a sophisticated system of more than 300 volunteer monitors at 100 sites along the Colorado River.

The River Watch Network supports volunteers who monitor the water quality of the Colorado River. The network collects data from these sites and analyzes it, creating an early warning system that alerts LCRA to potential water quality threats.

The network also strives to educate students and citizens about how their actions can improve water quality.
