WaterSense Video Series

Our WaterSense series explores water quality of local urban ponds. These ponds are regularly stocked with fish. That means the water quality is important not only for the stocked fish, but also for people catching fish from these ponds for sustenance. Also, Fishing in the City (FIC) staff will regularly assess water quality of the ponds we stock to track water quality over time.
