Residents of the Fox River Watershed are fortunate to have a number of organizations undertaking the essential task of studying and monitoring the Fox River and its tributaries. Data from these studies enable our communities to measure water quality, quantity, and the overall health of our watershed.  Active in this endeavor are:
