Our Mission
To protect and improve water quality and natural resources in the Upper Susquehanna River Basin with the involvement of citizens and agencies through planning, education, coordination, funding, project implementation and advocating for our water resources.
We strive to accomplish our mission through a team approach, with teams focused on key watershed-wide efforts working both independently and collaboratively to meet our goals.
USC Youtube Video Highlight
Watershed Wednesdays offers watershed-related webinars in a mini-session series, each of which is then shared on our YouTube channel. This session provides an overview of cost effective methods to assess streambank erosion, determine erosion rates, sample streambanks for nutrients, and calculate annual nutrient loads due to streambank erosion. Methods include different applications for severe downstream meander migration as well as more typical bank erosion. These methods were piloted on the West Branch of the Delaware River within the New York City watershed and are now being applied to the Ouleout Creek in the Upper Susquehanna watershed.
