Stroud Water Research Center
Human activities are increasing stream temperatures and harming habitat quality for freshwater fish and species like mayflies.
Traditional stream studies can be challenging for students receiving special education services. Leaf packs offer a creative solution.
Stroud Center helps communities establish trusted freshwater data, strengthen local monitoring, and protect vital freshwater resources.
Stroud Center’s comprehensive assessment reveals exceptional biodiversity and establishes a benchmark for freshwater conservation in Belize.
Across six agricultural watersheds draining to the Chesapeake Bay, scientists are measuring changes in stream temperature, water chemistry, and aquatic macroinvertebrates in response to forested buffer restoration and better barnyard…
This funding supports Stroud Water Research Center’s efforts to help Delaware River Watershed Initiative partners better understand their streams and watersheds and their progress toward conservation goals. This includes the…
These projects use water chemistry and aquatic macroinvertebrates such as mayflies, stoneflies, and caddisflies to provide assessments of current water quality in streams. Where long-term data are available, the most…
Aquatic insects have long been essential in assessing stream health and setting water quality standards based on aquatic ecotoxicity studies. This project uses field collections and laboratory rearing to provide…
This project uses water chemistry and aquatic macroinvertebrates such as mayflies, stoneflies, and caddisflies to provide assessments of current water quality at 19 sites in the Schuylkill River. Scientists are…
This project makes the Watershed Education Mobile Lab more interactive with the addition of aquatic macroinvertebrate discovery tanks. The mobile lab brings watershed educationto students and community members at parks,…
