In parts of the world where snow and ice are common, road salt is typically applied to help ensure safe transportation, but we’re learning that when it’s not applied properly, excess salt ends up in our streams and rivers, causing adverse effects on stream ecosystems.

Stroud Water Research Center’s Senior Research Scientist John Jackson, Ph.D., will talk about this problem, its impacts on our rivers, and how you can help us learn more about chloride levels in your streams.
