Water Cooler Talk: Small Pennsylvania Watershed, Big Impact

ABOUT THE LIVE WEBINAR

Discover how one small stream can reveal big insights during Water Cooler Talk: Small Pennsylvania Watershed, Big Impact. Halfmoon Creek in Centre County may seem modest, but it offers a powerful lens into the health of Pennsylvania’s surface waters. Situated within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, this creek provides critical data on sediment and nutrient pollution—two major concerns for water quality in our region. This presentation explores how monitoring streambank erosion, tracking sediment and phosphorus movement, and measuring nitrous oxide emissions before and after stream restoration efforts can guide our understanding of water quality challenges. Join us to learn how science-based strategies can inform best management practices that protect and restore our valuable freshwater resources.
