In reviewing the data collected by
these volunteers and others, Stroud Center senior scientist John Jackson observed an alarming trend: salt concentrations in some streams remain elevated year-round. Worse yet, published research from Jackson and entomologist David Funk indicates that salt is even more toxic to aquatic life during summer months, when the stream water is warmer. “Without these volunteers and the large network we’re building, it would’ve been much harder to find these problem sites,” says Jackson. “The next step is to do something about it.”
Through its multimillion-dollar Delaware River Watershed Initiative, the William Penn Foundation is funding the effort that is supporting the Stroud Center and more than 50 other leading nonprofits working together to reduce threats to water quality for the 15 million people—more than 5 percent of the U.S. population— who get their drinking water from the Delaware River basin.
