Mission: To advance knowledge and stewardship of freshwater systems through global research, education, and restoration. Driven by the philosophy that understanding the science of fresh water is fundamental to our ability to protect the integrity of this finite and vital resource, Stroud Water Research Center seeks to disseminate its research findings to its peers in the scientific and educational communities, as well as businesses, landowners, policy makers and individuals, to enable informed decision making that affects water quality and availability in our local communities and the world around us. We accomplish our goals through our pursuit of both basic and applied scientific research, watershed restoration programs, and through educational programs, which serve audiences ranging in age from elementary school children to adults in continuing education programs.
