The Lake of the Enshriners Hydrocache is easy to find and contains a simple, safe water quality test for nitrates (a pollutant that enters the lake from stormwater runoff.) Finders can perform this test by taking cache & contents down to the water. Record the test result in the log book and when reporting the find. Please return the cache and contents to where you found it. Watch out for poison ivy near this cache.
Water Quality Hydrocaching is geocaching with a twist! This cache was placed by Friends of Kaw Point Park as an activity of a Stormwater Quality Education Grant from KC Water. Hydrocaching uses the the geocache format to help you learn about how stormwater runoff effects water quality in the MIssouri River basin in Kansas City, MO. Have fun finding the new hydrocaches placed in Kansas City, MO in October of 2018!
