Part 3 on Thursday, April 2 from 7:00 to 8:15 pm on Zoom
Parts 1 and 2 recordings available
Water is at the heart of all that the Nashua River Watershed Association does, and understanding the science of hydrology– how water moves through our watershed- is essential to our work. Hydrology impacts many aspects of our daily lives including local water quality and quantity, the ways we manage drinking water supplies, where and how we construct our communities, and why we experience floods and drought, as well as influencing the diversity and quality of wildlife habitat that exists.
This winter, join the NRWA on the first Thursday, February through April, for our free series as we look at hydrology in our watershed through presentations by NRWA Board members with professional expertise on this topic.
Registration is required; register today to receive the zoom link, reminders, and notice when the recording and any resource materials are available.
February 5- The Basics of Hydrology- View recording. Learn about the basic concepts such as the water cycle, surface water and groundwater, seasonal streamflow, runoff vs infiltration, pervious and impervious surfaces, with Dave Armstrong, retired US Geological Survey.
March 5- Human and Climate Impacts on Natural Hydrology- View recording. Look at the ways that human activity and climate change can alter the natural cycles and movement of water, as well as how these alterations impact our natural and human communities, presented by Sarah Widing, water resources engineer.
April 2- Protecting and Restoring Our Natural Hydrology: Explore actions we can take to protect and restore our natural hydrology to create healthy, resilient communities, while protecting the special landscapes and biodiversity of our watershed, presented by Ralph Baker, retired environmental and soil scientist, and Bob Pine, landscape architect and civil engineer.
