Alabama Water Watch celebrates 25 years of service

By Staff Report | December 8

For the past 25 years, an Auburn University-based group of devoted citizens has watched over and protected Alabama's miles of rivers and streams.  Founded in 1992 thanks to federal grant money through the Alabama Department of Environmental Management, Alabama Water Watch monitors these waterways in order to improve both water quality and water policy. In their quarter-century of service, Alabama Water Watch monitors 132,000 miles of rivers and streams, 300 species of freshwater fish, crayfish, snails, turtles and mussels, more than any other state.  “Many people didn’t think we would last a year because they thought Alabamians were not interested in their water or their environment,” said Bill Deutsch, Alabama Water Watch co-founder and research fellow emeritus in Auburn University’s School of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Aquatic Sciences. Deutsch directed Alabama Water Watch for its first 22 years and remains heavily involved in the association.
