Stroud Water Research Center

The Stroud Water Research Center's scientific staff is internationally acclaimed for its pioneering research on streams and rivers. The scientists work in interdisciplinary research teams, blending their individual talents in chemistry, microbial ecology, invertebrate biology, watershed ecology, and ecosystem modeling to study the physical, chemical, and biological processes of streams and rivers, the life histories of individual organisms, and the ecology of watersheds.

Water Footprint Network

The mission of the Water Footprint Network is to promote the transition toward sustainable, fair, and efficient use of freshwater resources worldwide primarily by advancing the concept of the “water footprint”—a spatially and temporally explicit indicator of direct and indirect water use of consumers and producers. The water footprint of an individual, community, or business is defined as the total volume of freshwater that is used to produce the goods and services.
