WATER MONITORING
EPFW assists the Upper Mokelumne River Watershed Council with monitoring of water quality on the Tuolumne River Watershed.

The Upper Mokelumne River Watershed Council was originally formed with a state Proposition 204 grant in the spring of 2000. The council originally met on an intermittent basis. Since May of 2003, the group has refocused its efforts on water quality, watershed planning, watershed assessment/restoration, and public outreach and education on the Upper Mokelumne River, Dry Creek, and Upper Calaveras River watersheds. The council meets on a monthly basis. The mission of the council is: To establish a collaborative decision-making body and a forum composed of all parties with a vested interest, including local residents, agricultural, timber and other commercial entities, recreational users, and public agencies. We shall work to restore and maintain the Upper Mokelumne River watershed in a manner that ensures sustainable environmental, economic, educational, cultural, recreational, and water quality benefits for present and future generations.
