Wisconsin water experts say they need help from the public to assess state water quality.

The Department of Natural Resources says it wants information state residents have collected about streams, rivers and lakes as it crafts its next water quality report for Congress.

The DNR wants all types of data for lakes and rivers, but is especially interested in information collected between 2005 and 2010. It will take information through the end of the year.
The agency says nearly 1,000 lake volunteers and almost 2,000 stream volunteers participate in water monitoring programs. Many universities and local agencies also collect water quality data.
