URI Watershed Watch Research Connections

Research has a central role in the URI Watershed Watch program. It is a scientist-led program, with monitoring and analytical procedures based on scientific research conducted by US Environmental Protection Agency, the US Geological Survey, and applied scientists within a wide range of water resources fields. The state-certified URI Watershed Watch Analytical Laboratory provides analytical services to researchers within and outside of URI. Our monitoring results are widely incorporated by undergraduate, graduate, academic, and agency research efforts.
