Research
Understanding forest watersheds, and linking water resources from the mountains to the sea, scientist and collaborators of the Forest Watershed RWU are working to understand and learn about the impacts on forest water systems from disturbances, and activities effecting water quality and supplies in the southeastern United States.
Much of America’s water supplies and resources begin on public and private forested lands. Scientist from the Center for Forested Wetlands, Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory, Savannah River Station, and the Coldwater Fisheries Team, are working with other agencies, local governments, and partners to understand the linkages among terrestrial, riparian and aquatic ecosystems in forest watersheds at multiple scales.
Utilizing long term data, rigorous research standards, and innovative research methods, scientist are developing and providing natural resource managers, policy makers, and planners with state of the science watershed management and restoration knowledge, tools, and techniques.
