Riverkeeper has launched an updated version of its Water Quality Testing Online Database featuring a new and improved design for reviewing water quality data using Google Maps. Riverkeeper’s Water Quality Testing Program is the only program that regularly tests for sewage contamination levels as well as other water quality indicators throughout the Hudson River Estuary and posts the data online within days of sampling. The first Hudson River sampling results for the 2010 season will be posted on Friday, May 28. New results will be posted monthly through November. Learn More
