  2. Global Water Watch

  3. A Three-Part Model of Community-Based Water Monitoring

  4. Community-Based Water Monitoring Part I

  5. Community-Based Water Monitoring Part I Essential Elements • People • Technology • Credible Data

  6. Community-Based Water Monitoring Part I • Lessons Learned • A successful CBWM program requires much more than technology transfer of test kits. • Building trust and capacity are essential complements to technical training.

  7. Community-Based Water Monitoring Part II

  8. Community-Based Water Monitoring Part II Local Knowledge to Watershed Issues • Environmental Education • Protection, Restoration • Advocacy • Spread

  9. E. coli and TSS Measurements

  10. Stream Discharge Measurements in Mindanao, Philippines

  11. Community-Based Water Monitoring Part II • Lessons Learned • Community groups with relatively little formal education can understand the basics of complex watershed processes. • Spread of CBWM programs cannot be orchestrated or forced, and is sometimes impossible regardless of effort and incentives.

  12. Community-Based Water Monitoring Part III

  13. Community-Based Water Monitoring Part III Essential Elements • Sustainable Groups and Programs • Policy and Institutions • Watershed Management and Quality of Life

  14. Community-Based Water Monitoring Part III • Lessons Learned • It is important to have a general understanding of existing institutions that may support or oppose a CBWM effort. • There is no precise formula for a successful CBWM group.
