Staff Present on DRBC's Regulation of Water Quality, Designated Use Study

Last month, DRBC staff participated in two virtual events, sharing information on DRBC's ongoing Aquatic Life Designated Use Study and the Commission's regulation of water quality.  

Delaware Watershed Research Conference

DRBC Manager of Water Resource Modeling Thomas Amidon presented as part of the Academy of Natural Sciences (ANS) of Drexel University's Delaware Watershed Research Conference.

The conference brought together students, watershed scientists and stakeholders to foster collaboration and discuss ongoing Academy-funded research efforts in the Delaware River Basin.

Amidon provided an update on two DRBC research projects, supported by ANS grant funding, that are currently underway as part of our Aquatic Life Designated Use Study of the Delaware Estuary:

  • Modeling Eutrophication Processes in the Delaware Estuary; and
  • Engineering Evaluation
