Abstract
The number of citizen monitoring programs,
both nationally and in Georgia, has grown exponentially in
recent years. This paper examines why citizen monitoring
programs have become increasingly popular, who is involved,
what are the program outcomes, and where active programs
are located. Georgia Adopt-A-Stream encourages individuals
and communities to adopt a local stream, river or lake. By
working in partnership with local governments and other
community leaders, volunteers help protect water quality by
raising awareness of specific local water conditions and
taking steps to improve stream health.
