Cutting-edge Science Scientific Monitoring is the Key to a Successful Restoration Project Better Planning  |  Tracking Progress  |  Assessing Results Before You Begin: Planning for Aquatic Restoration Success Freshwater Scientific Services specializes in providing you with high quality scientific measurements of your lake, pond, river, or stream to help ensure that you can make the best possible decisions when planning to protect or restore your waters. In today's world, aquatic restoration can be a very costly undertaking. Many cities, lake associations, and environmental groups spend tens of thousands of dollars each year on such projects. Unfortunately, many get caught up in the rush to get the job done as quickly as possible, so they jump right in without considering a properly designed monitoring program. This is like letting a doctor perform surgery on you without running any tests! Without solid monitoring results, these groups often end up choosing one-size-fits-all restoration plans that often do not address the actual causes of their water's problems.     Your restoration project should begin with a properly focused monitoring program that is designed to give you the scientific information needed to ensure that your restoration project will be as effective as possible. The best way to increase your chance for success in any restoration project is to collect accurate and timely scientific measurements that are targeted to diagnose your water's unique problems before you develop your plans, so you are able to make the best planning decisions down the road. Without such information, even the most carefully laid-out plans may veer off course or fail completely. Think about it, would you trust a doctor who wanted to operate on you without first conducting medical tests designed to shed light on the exact cause of your health problem? Freshwater Scientific Services is ready to work with you to create and implement a personalized aquatic monitoring program that is tailored to your project goals and budget.
