AWQA (Alberta Water Quality Awareness Day)
Every June, thousands of Albertans take part in Alberta Water Quality Awareness (AWQA) Day; exploring the health of their local waterways as part of this province-wide water sampling event. Working together, Albertans from across the province:
- Increase their understanding and awareness of our water resources
- Get outside and have fun exploring their watersheds
- Test the water quality of various surface waterbodies with their free AWQA Day test kit
- Create a province-wide snapshop of basic water quality during the month of June
- Illustrate a common interest in the health of our waterways
AWQA Day Water Quality Results from 2006 are now available. View for the final report
