Water Resources of New Hampshire and Vermont
CURRENT PROJECTS (2009)

The following projects represent the hydrologic investigations and studies that the New Hampshire-Vermont Water Science Center has underway. These projects are conducted through cooperative studies with State and local agencies, interagency agreements with other Federal agencies and through USGS programs. For more information about USGS cooperative studies, contact the Water Science Director.

NATIONAL AND REGIONAL STUDIES

1) NAWQA: New England Coastal Basins Study Unit

2) Web-based CT River Watershed Atlas

3) National Hydrography Dataset catchment delineation (GIS)

4) Northeastern United States regional SPARROW model

5) New England crystalline bedrock water quality

6) Trends in fish-tissue mercury concentrations in the United States

7) Effects of urbanization on stream ecosystems in selected urban areas of the United States

8) Trace elements in the nation's ground waters

9) Transport of anthropogenic and natural contaminants

10) MERGANSER mercury model

11) Level 1 water resources assessment for the Appalachian National Scenic Trail

12) Measuring carbon and mercury relations in forested streams in the Northeast

 

VERMONT STUDIES

1) Best Management Practices in the Lake Champlain Basin

2) Sleepers River Water Energy and Biogeochemical Budgets (WEBB)

3) Mt. Mansfield: Hydrology and water quality of headwater streams

4) Mercury and methyl-mercury movement in the Lake Champlain Basin
