Our Focus Is Fresh Water
Who We Are
Since 1967, Stroud™ Water Research Center’s scientists and educators have been focused on one thing — fresh water. At the heart of the organization is an interdisciplinary team of scientists whose research efforts are dedicated to understanding the ecology of streams, rivers, and their watersheds — both pristine and polluted.
What We Do
While our research concentrates on streams and rivers, including how they function as a whole and the complex web of life that inhabits them, there’s a much larger story behind our efforts. The health of these freshwater ecosystems is our first line of defense in preserving clean water — and clean water is essential to all life.
Businesses, policy-makers, landowners, and community volunteers alike use the Center’s research findings and watershed education programs to make informed decisions that affect water quality and availability — from land use planning and storm water management to water treatment and conservation.
How You Can Help
If you’re committed to supporting the scientific research and education programs that are helping to ensure clean and available water here and around the world, there are many ways to get involved. Follow the links below to find out how.
