NEW!!Water Quality Monitoring Equipment available for tribes in the Kuskokwim. The Council has acquired a Multiparameter YSI 556 and one LaMotte turbiditymeter for tribes that want to carry on their own Water Quality Monitoring. Please note that you won't be able to use IGAP funds to carry on Water Quality Monitoring unless you have developed a QAPP. For more information on how to borrow this equipment from the Council, contact us.
NEW!! Article on how a cyanide spill affected the Tisza river, by WWF. Lots of people asked us to inform them better about how cyanide could affect the river. Would it kill all the fish? Would it pollute the water forever? How will it affect subsistence way of life? The Council contacted people from Hungary and Romania (the countries most affected by this spill) and we were directed to this study made in 2002, two years after the spill. After all the fears from the river inhabitants, and surprisingly to many, the terrible images and forecasts about the river were not that bad. The river proved a great resilience (the ability to restore itself) and only 2 years after the spill the situation was as it is pictured on this report.
