Water Tester for Lakes and Streams

[Canine]

As a campground host, I've been able to see some interesting jobs that allow or insist on travel. I met a lady late last night whose job is to hike to specific lakes and streams to gather water samples for the Forest Service. They pay her camping fees. I don't know how much she makes or how many hours she gets. I don't know if it is a regional job or throughout the Midwest.  She was driving her own vehicle. The job seemed pretty neat to me and wanted to share what little I learned about it.

That is an Interesting job. Fishery management. Water source quality control. All interesting. It sure what training you need as a technician to do this work. Could be a seasonal job only.

Probably seasonal with minimal training. She backpacked the water samples with her then drove them to the lab to be tested by other people.
