NH WRRC Current Research
Current Research Projects
- Lamprey River Hydrologic
Observatory (LRHO): a name given to the Lamprey
River basin which serves as a platform to study the hydrology
and biogeochemistry of a suburban basin. The LRHO is a focal
point for teaching, research and outreach in the Department
of Natural Resources, Earth Sciences and Civil Engineering
at UNH.
- College
Brook: the WRRC have funded a long term water quality monitoring
program to ascertain the ecological health of the College
Brook watershed and the UNH campus.
- Water Quality Change- Effects of Development on Nutrient Loading in Selected Watersheds:
this part of an ongoing research collaboration with the Lakes Lay Monitoring Program. This effort will provide the foundation to further assess the impacts of land use and the effectiveness of watershed management strategies using long-term data sets in future years.
- Suncook River Project: a study into the effects of sedimentation and dewatering on stream ecology and biogeochemistry, and to examine the process by which a new stream becomes established.
- Moore
Fields Project: research is on the agriculture effects of
Moore Fields on the water quality of the Oyster River. Any change
in the structure of the land could have a drastic effect on the
Oyster River, which is the drinking water supply for UNH and
the town of Durham.
