The Indiana Water Monitoring Council (InWMC) serves as a broad-based, state-wide body to enhance the communication, collaboration and coordination of professionals, organizations, and individuals involved in water monitoring within Indiana. Founded in 2008, the InWMC:
- Provides a forum for communication among groups that are monitoring
- Promotes sharing monitoring information including data, and effective procedures and protocols for sample collection
- Facilitates the development of collaborative monitoring strategies
The InWMC addresses the full range of water resources, including ground and surface waters, physical, chemical and biological components, and associated wetland resources within Indiana.
Currently, the InWMC sponsors two standing committees that meet throughout the year; Communications and Data Clearinghouse. Future plans include expanding to include workgroups and holding Annual Meetings to promote the exchange of information within Indiana’s water monitoring community.
