Funded by the Pinchot Institute's U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities Healthy Forests and Waters Program, this DRBC monitoring effort focuses on assessing the relationship between land use types, development, and pollution loadings throughout the entire Neversink River Watershed, a N.Y. tributary to the upper Delaware River. Starting in the spring of 2012, 20 water quality parameters will be evaluated eight times a year at nine locations for three land use types: core forest, fragmented forest, and urban. The data will help evaluate the differences in pollutant loadings from specific land use types and development intensities. Undeterred by the rainy weather, DRBC staff were in the field collecting water quality samples in the Neversink Watershed on June 10, 2013.
