Study Will Investigate Storm Impacts on Fresh Water

 400 292 Stroud Water Research Center

The Stroud Center will measure the huge amount sediment-associated nitrogen flushed downstream during intense storms, and investigate what happens to it.

Sediment Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs)

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

For this study, we set out to determine the feasibility of using microbes to generate clean energy on a large scale. We deployed two streambed sediment microbial fuel cells in…
