Water Quality Common Interest Group
The Water Quality Common Interest Group (CIG) is a team of Purdue Extension specialists and educators that work together to promote and coordinate water quality education and outreach programs. Members share information about current needs and opportunities in water quality education, strategize about priorities to improve water quality in Indiana, and develop water quality materials and programs (such as this web site) to inform the public about Purdue Extension water quality programs. The Water Quality CIG has also developed a widely-distributed brochure of Purdue Extension water quality publications and a web site to educate the public about septic systems. Contact any of the members listed here for more information.
