Stream quality and changing land use

The Stroud Center has received a five-year, renewable grant to maintain its installations across the White Clay watershed. These installations include both shallow and deep streamside wells, instruments for sampling soil water, rain gauges and survey monuments, all of which are used to collect data and test hypotheses on changes to the stream due to gradual long-term changes in the watershed. Our 30-year data base on the White Clay ecosystem is a critical asset for evaluating the patterns of environmental change caused by such things as reforestation, global warming, development and agricultural practices.
