Yukon River Intertribal Watershed Council - Indigenous Observation Network

This dataset is part of the Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council's (YRITWC's) Indigenous Observation Network (ION) Water Monitoring Program. The YRITWC is an Indigenous grassroots non-profit organization, consisting of 74 First Nations and Tribes, dedicated to the protection and preservation of the Yukon River Watershed. The YRITWC accomplishes this by providing Yukon First Nations and Alaska Tribes in the Yukon Watershed with technical assistance, such as facilitating the development and exchange of information, coordinating efforts between First Nations and Tribes, undertaking research, and providing training, education and awareness programs to promote the health of the Watershed and its Indigenous peoples. Data generated by this program is used to assess water quality (non-point source/climate change indicators and point-source/natural and anthropogenic indicators) at water resources and within the YRB. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, United States Geological Survey, University of Alaska Fairbanks Chemistry Department and Water Environmental Research Center Laboratory, Government of Yukon Water Resources, Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation provided standard operation protocols, technical assistance, and guidance.
