Montana State University is part of the Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES) National Water Quality Program. The goal of this program is to protect or improve the quality of water resources throughout the United States and its territories, particularly in agriculturally managed watersheds. The CSREES program seeks to address this goal at national, regional, state, and local levels.
Featured Programs:
Well Educated Program
The Well Educated program guides private well owners through the process of testing water quality, provides materials to help interpret test results, and offers insight on ways to help protect drinking water resources. The program is offered as a service for Montana well owners to provide affordable well testing services accompanied by test result interpretation, while simultaneously providing a useful water quality data source for managers. Some new additions to the 2009 program include year round program offering, an option to test for uranium in addition to the 30 parameters available for analysis, and an educational well and septic DVD “Taking Care of yOur Ground Water” included with test results.
