2021 AWW Annual Meeting Coming Up Saturday June 26!
Summer Changes for E.coli Standards
A standard is something we can compare water quality data to in order to determine if the quality of that water is good or bad. If water quality data results consistently fail to meet the standards, there may be a chronic problem with water quality that poses a potential threat to human and aquatic health, potentially leading to the water body being listed on the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) 303(d) List of Impaired Waters.
AWW Hits 100,000 Data Records!
The Alabama Water Watch Program has reached a monumental moment:
The AWW Database now contains 100,000 water quality data records!
This would not be possible without the dedication of our statewide network of volunteer citizen water quality monitors, past and present.
Many thanks to each and every one of you who collected and sent 1, 100, or 1,000+ data records.
2020 AWW Annual Report
Upcoming Rivers of Alabama Course
Travel down rivers through time to encounter the rich human history and natural wonders that have defined Alabama. Along the way, we will celebrate an array of magnificent rivers filled with unique plants and animals, shaped over the ages by a remarkably diverse geology. Accept the challenge to restore and protect our rivers for their economic, cultural, and ecological benefits, but most of all because it is the right thing to do.
Join Dr. Bill Deutsch and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Auburn University as they journey through Rivers of Alabama, a 7-week Zoom course that will allow participants to explore the wonders and mysteries of Alabama’s Rivers.

2020 Alabama Fish Advisories
What are the Alabama Fish Consumption Advisories?
The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) sample fish in Alabama’s rivers, streams, and lakes, to compile the Annual Alabama Fish Consumption Advisory. Fish Consumption Advisories provide information and recommendations about eating fish from Alabama rivers and lakes that may be contaminated. This information enables people to make more informed choices about the types of fish they eat, and how much to consume.
You can view the full advisory document on the ADPH website: https://www.alabamapublichealth.gov/tox/assets/al-fish-advisory-2020.pdf
