NFWF Grant Profile

Conduct water quality monitoring in the Rippowam River, Norwalk River and Bruce Brook in Connecticut to identify sources of pollution. Project will collect data at each site including dissolved oxygen, conductivity, water temperature, fecal coliform and E. coli and identify sources of negative impacts to create a dataset of water quality conditions to reduce bacteria and nutrient inputs to Long Island Sound tributaries and reduce beach and shellfish bed closures.
