Horizon Technology Partners with World Water Monitoring Day

Horizon Technology (Salem, New Hampshire), a manufacturer of automated sample preparation equipment, has announced that it has partnered with the Water Environment Federation and the International Water Association to promote World Water Monitoring Day (WWMD) 2008.

WWMD is an international education and outreach program that builds public awareness of and involvement in protecting water resources around the world by engaging citizens to conduct basic monitoring of their local water bodies. The month-long program begins each year on September 18 with a data entry deadline of December 18. A test kit enables citizens to sample local water bodies for water quality parameters such as temperature, acidity, clarity, and dissolved oxygen content.
