Road Salt Delivery Mechanisms and Water Quality Impacts in the Hudson River Watershed
Road Salt Delivery Mechanisms and Water Quality Impacts in the Hudson River Watershed
This project examines the question: how do land use and watershed structure control delivery of winter salt to the stream channel network, and ultimately, the Hudson River? This question is being answered through water quality monitoring and landscape analyses with the help of several research partners throughout the Hudson River Watershed

Past Projects
Water quality monitoring and green infrastructure planning in the Patroon Creek Watershed
The Patroon Creek is an urban watershed located in Colonie and Albany. Water quality monitoring stations are established at several locations throughout the watershed and monthly sampling for water chemistry and bacteria contamination continue. Please visit the Patroon Project page for more information.
Water quality monitoring and green infrastructure modeling in the Kromma Kill Watershed
The Kromma Kill is a urban/suburban watershed located in the Town of Colonie and is the home watershed of Siena College. Water quality monitoring stations are established at several locations throughout the watershed. Green infrastructure (GI) modeling is being used to examine the impact of green roofs versus wetlands on improving water quality in the watershed. Please visit www.krommakillwatershed.org for more information on the watershed and see https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.11367 for a recent publication on our Kromma Kill work.
