Who We Are

Since 1967, Stroud™ Water Research Center has been focused on one thing — fresh water. We are dedicated to understanding the ecology of streams, rivers, and their watersheds — both pristine and polluted.

What We Do

The health of freshwater ecosystems is our first line of defense in preserving clean water — and clean water is essential to all life.

Our research findings, watershed education programs, and outreach events enable businesses, policy-makers, landowners, and community volunteers to make informed decisions that affect water quality and availability.

How You Can Help
