SUMMARY:2026 Joan and Dick Stroud Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:When Dams Come Down: Reconnecting Rivers Across America\n\n\n\n\nWhen: Tuesday\, October 13\, 2026. Doors open at 6 p.m. Lecture begins at 6:30 p.m.\n\n\n\nWhere: Stroud Water Research Center\, 970 Spencer Road\, Avondale\, PA 19311\n\n\n\nCost: Free to attend\, but please RSVP.\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP Now\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for an evening exploring how dam removal is reconnecting rivers and streams across the country. Katie Schmidt and Jessie Thomas-Blate from American Rivers\, a national non-profit dedicated to protecting and restoring rivers\, will discuss the complex relationship between dams\, rivers\, and communities in the United States. They will share stories of river restoration from California’s Klamath River to local waterways in Pennsylvania. \n\n\n\nParticipants will learn how dams affect river health and public safety\, why many dams have outlived their intended purposes\, and how dam removal can help build more resilient communities and ecosystems. They will leave better equipped to recognize opportunities and advocate for healthier rivers and streams in their own communities. \n\n\n\nQuestions? Please contact Jessica Provinski. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHeld in memory of Joan and Dick Stroud\, co-founders of Stroud Water Research Center\, this lecture series features speakers who enlighten and entertain while sharing research and perspectives on subjects from watershed ecology to conservation and more.

SUMMARY:Fall Salt Pollution Stream Snapshot
DESCRIPTION:A map showing Valley Forge Trout Unlimited’s 2025 Fall Salt Snapshot sampling sites.\n\n\n\nWant to Get Involved in Community Science? \n\n\n\nStroud Water Research Center is again planning a baseflow salt snapshot to assess year-round salt pollution levels and patterns in streams and rivers\, helping researchers and community members better understand how road salt accumulates across different landscapes.  \n\n\n\nThe target sampling date is Thursday\, October 15\, and the priority date range is Thursday\, October 15 through Sunday\, October 18\, weather permitting.  \n\n\n\nAll sample collection should be done during baseflow conditions when water levels are stable and not influenced by storm runoff. \n\n\n\nIn early October\, all participants should use 1- to 10-day forecasts to ensure they collect baseflow samples (baseflow = a stream’s resting state\, fed mostly by groundwater rather than storm runoff). The recommendation for a baseflow sample is no significant rain (~0.25 inches or more) in the 48 hours before sample collection. Significant rainfall will require sampling outside the target October 15–18 range.  \n\n\n\n\nThe salt snapshot provides a unique\, hands-on opportunity to generate data illustrating that road salt contaminates our watersheds year-round. This data will help start local conversations and shine a public spotlight on this critical water quality issue. The level of road salt contamination highly depends on how much road salt private applicators and municipalities use and how they handle it. Therefore\, local data are a vital part of the conversation.   \n\n\n\n\nQuestions? Please contact Community Science Facilitator David Bressler at dbressler@stroudcenter.org. \n\n\n\nGet Involved\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister to Participate\n\n\n\n\n(If you’re working as a group\, please have your leader register.) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRequest Supplies\n\n\n\n\n(Request chloride test strips and conductivity meters after you’ve figured out what you’ll need.) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nInvite Public to Your Event\n\n\n\n\n(For sample drop-off\, to encourage participation\, and to share on social media). \n\n\n\n\n\nInstructions and Resources\n\n\n\nUse the technical guidance\, online data sheet\, and online map throughout your site selection\, planning\, sampling\, and analysis process. \n\n\n\n\nSnapshot guidance document.\n\n\n\nOnline data sheet.\n\n\n\nOnline salt map.

SUMMARY:Overseasoned: Road Salt Pollution Awareness Event
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Michael Pereckas\, Wikimedia Commons\, CC BY 2.0\n\n\n\n\nWhen: Monday\, October 19\, 2026. Press conference at 11 a.m. Water sample testing from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.\n\n\n\nWhere: The Rotunda at the Pennsylvania State Capitol Complex\, N. 6th St. & Reily St.\, Harrisburg\, PA 17120.\n\n\n\nCost: Free. RSVPs are appreciated but not required.\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP Now\n\n\n\n\nIs Your Local Stream Getting Salty?\n\n\n\nSalt keeps us safe on icy roads — but it’s also quietly harming waterways. Every winter\, millions of tons of salt are spread on roads\, sidewalks\, and driveways to combat snow and ice. While it’s effective at reducing slippery conditions\, the consequences for freshwater ecosystems\, infrastructure\, and drinking water are profound\, especially as winter salt use has risen dramatically over the past 50 years.  \n\n\n\nPhoto: Dave Funk\n\n\n\n\nBut road salt isn’t just a winter issue. It seeps into our groundwater\, making streams salty and harming wildlife year-round. \n\n\n\n\nIf you live in the Harrisburg area and are worried about salt pollution in your local stream\, collect a water sample and bring it to the testing event. Volunteers will test it for chloride and conductivity\, and Stroud Water Research Center scientists will add the data to the interactive salt map at stroudcenter.info/saltmap. \n\n\n\nGet Your Streamwater Tested\n\n\n\n\nDownload and print the salt snapshot sample data sheet. (This is optional\, but will speed up testing at the event.)\n\n\n\nWhile at your sample site\, record the location as precisely as possible by dropping a pin in a mapping app on your phone.\n\n\n\nCollect about two cups of water in a clean container for each sample.\n\n\n\nFill out the data form with your sample information. \n\n\n\nBring your samples and data form to the event for analysis.\n\n\n\n\nRSVPs are appreciated but not required.
