Earlier this month, DRBC staff presented on commission water quality initiatives at two watershed conferences:

• Delaware Watershed Research Conference, hosted by and held at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pa. 
• Susquehanna River Symposium - The Spirit of Two Great Rivers: The Susquehanna and Delaware, hosted by and held at Bucknell University, Lewisburg, Pa.

The Delaware Watershed Research Conference brought together students, watershed scientists, and stakeholders to foster collaboration and discuss ongoing research efforts in the Delaware River Basin.

• Dr. Tom Fikslin, DRBC Director of Science and Water Quality Management, and Dr. Namsoo Suk, DRBC Manager of Water Resource Modeling, presented Modeling Eutrophication Processes in the Delaware Estuary To Link Watershed Efforts to Control Nutrient Impacts (pdf 2.2 MB)
  
  
• Elaine Panuccio, DRBC Water Resource Scientist, presented Lower Delaware River Special Protection Waters Assessment of Measurable Changes to Existing Water Quality, Round 1: Baseline EWQ (2000-2004) vs. Post-EWQ (2009-2011) (pdf 1.2 MB)

The Susquehanna River Symposium brought together students, scientists, and engineers to discuss issues that affect both the Susquehanna and Delaware watersheds.

• Elaine Panuccio, DRBC Water Resource Scientist, presented a poster on the Lower Delaware River Special Protection Waters Assessment of Measurable Changes to Existing Water Quality, Round 1: Baseline EWQ (2000-2004) vs. Post-EWQ (2009-2011) (pdf 1.4 MB)

DRBC staff work hard to fulfill the commission’s mission of managing and protecting the basin’s water resources. Being able to participate in conferences and educate others about DRBC and what we do are also important parts of that mission.
