Good news! 📰 Water quality in the Chesapeake Bay continues to improve! Commitments to consistent funding for watershed restoration within the Chesapeake Bay basin are critical to continue progress we are making together. Meaningful partnerships with rural communities are key to continue to improve water quality. Sustainable farming practices including installation and care for riparian buffers are taking hold. Stroud Water Research Center works with individual farmers to create whole-farm solutions to protect water quality and we provide the technical assistance to keep the work on track. Our research team measures results by collecting chemical, physical, and biological data in surrounding streams. Together with partners like Lancaster Clean Water Partners, Chesapeake Bay Foundation and many others we continue to protect freshwater for today and the future.

Seetha Coleman Kammula and PFAS Solutions are working on answers to the wicked problem of #PFAS. We are proud to partner with her and are grateful for her service on our Board. #EnvironmentalHealth #WaterQuality #Sustainability #PublicHealth #Innovation #Collaboration #Partners
Advancing PFAS Solutions for Environmental and Human Health Seetha Coleman-Kammula, Ph.D. During June’s Society for Freshwater Science annual conference, I highlighted the urgent need to address PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), pervasive chemicals known for their recalcitrance and widespread environmental presence. At the Center for PFAS Solutions, our focus remains on developing advanced test methods capable of detecting PFAS at trace levels and solutions to remediate the main avenue of exposure: contaminated drinking water. Given PFAS's ability to accumulate in ecosystems and cause a variety of health effects, our work is protecting the environment and public health. By providing precise assessments of PFAS contamination, we empower targeted cleanup strategies and informed policy decisions. Effective regulation is paramount, as is mandatory labeling of PFAS-containing products, enabling consumers to make informed choices, reducing exposure to these chemicals. Industrial wastewater should be differentiated from municipal wastewater, and the former needs to be treated on site before discharge to prevent further contamination of water sources. A better management of wastewater from industrial sites is essential to minimize PFAS loadings in biosolids and "treated" wastewater Our approach at the Center for PFAS Solutions integrates scientific research and innovation to support drinking water suppliers and to inform consumers. We cannot solve the complex issue of PFAS contamination alone. Collaboration across industries, governments, and research sectors is essential to develop sustainable remediation technologies and long-term solutions. Together, we can mitigate the negative effects of PFAS and ensure a cleaner, healthier environment for future generations.

Read why we think upstream ecology needs to be the focus of improving the nation's water resources. Full article available: https://lnkd.in/e4x7XM3c
To achieve the Clean Water Act's goals, we need to prioritize upstream ecology first. Restoring the aquatic health of our smallest waterways should be a prerequisite for restoring larger rivers, lakes, and bays downstream. Read our featured story in American Water Resources Association's Water Resources IMPACT magazine. Stroud Water Research Center's transdisciplinary team brings a new perspective on the nation's freshwater ecosystems: Dave Arscott, Melinda Daniels, Charles Dow, John Jackson, Diana Oviedo Vargas, and Marc Peipoch. https://lnkd.in/eHrbhgD6
