Stroud Water Research Center
Model My Watershed® is a powerful web app that lets users compare how different conservation or development scenarios could modify runoff and water quality.
We are excited to announce major improvements to the Leaf Pack Network, an international network of teachers, students, and citizen monitors investigating their local stream ecosystems.
“Our students have learned not only how to make contributions to a global community of researchers but have been empowered by sharing their own data with the world.”
The Excellence in GSI Award recognizes work in the Greater Philadelphia region celebrating a nature-based approach to stormwater management.
The true power of Model My Watershed is in the lasting lessons of action-based stewardship that follow students into the field.

This webinar will demonstrate the WikiWatershed toolkit and describe ways that it can be used to support NGSS-ESS implementation.
The Stroud Center was one of three winners in the Partners in Innovation category, along with Utility Associates and University of Münster.
By creating these teaching tools for other students to learn about freshwater ecosystems, the students developed their own curiosity about their outdoor environment.
WikiWatershed web tools offer rapid visualization of watershed data, advanced geospatial analysis capabilities, and science-based predictions of human impacts on stormwater runoff and water quality.
