Charis Kehrer | Joel Pigg | Galen Roberts |  John Smith

My primary areas of focus are developing educational outreach and applied research programs involving water resource management, including water conservation, water quality and aquatic ecosystems, watershed protection planning, and groundwater and private water well protection. Investigations concern identifying, evaluating and mitigating bacteria and nutrient loading to streams. Outreach includes developing and delivering educational programs involving supporting source water protection for residents using drinking water wells and facilitating community-driven watershed planning efforts. Program areas are aquatic ecosystems; drinking water and public health; water and wastewater treatment; and water quality and watershed protection.
