Description: Texas Stream Team is a network of trained volunteers and supportive partners working together to gather information about the natural resources of Texas and to ensure the information is available to all Texans. Volunteers are trained to collect quality-assured information that can be used to make environmentally sound decisions. Established in 1991 as Texas Watch, Texas Stream Team is administered through a cooperative partnership between Texas State University, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Currently, over 400 Texas Stream Team volunteers collect water quality data on lakes, rivers, and streams. Volunteers complete three phases of training using a test kit that measures physical and chemical parameters in water.

Volunteers are asked to monitor their site(s) monthly at the same time of day each month, for a two year commitment. Monitoring takes approximately one to two hours.

Phase I Training is a hands-on in a classroom setting.

Phase II Training provides the volunteers the opportunity to conduct the monitoring procedures in the field.

Phase III Training is conducted as a one-on-one session with a Trainer and each volunteer at their monitoring site.
