Rivers and streams that flow through our
region
From May to October, we collect a range
of water quality samples in the rivers and streams of our region.
An environmental scientist works on the rivers while two biologists
work on the streams. In addition, a policy expert works on lost
streams, asking where they have gone and why we continue to lose
them. We are creating the first detailed overview of water quality
conditions in the rivers and streams of our region. Our aquatic
team is developing important information that will help us plan
for recreational uses and find better ways to manage our sewer
and stormwater systems as well as our naturally flowing streams.

"We seem
to be caught in an opposition: Science and technology
vs. environment and
ecology. The state hands down standards for environmental
education but doesn't back it up with funding. Maybe
this is because environment and ecology are too losely
defined and interpreted--not enough attention is given
to curriculum. These topics are taught maingly through
other fields."
