While our streams no longer drive our local industries in the same way, they still affect our everyday lives and the functions of our local governments. Streams and rivers are never constant, so it is important to understand how and why streams change. This understanding is essential when approaching any level of stream management from general stream gravel maintenance to post-flood recovery.
The Delaware County Soil and Water Conservation District’s Stream Management Program created the “Getting to Know Your Streams and Stream Program” booklet to familiarize residents, municipalities, agencies, partners, businesses and other interested parties with the functions and attributes of our local streams and their importance to our daily lives.
The Delaware County Soil and Water Conservation District’s Stream Management Program is dedicated to restoring and stabilizing streams and reducing nonpoint source pollution to ensure quality drinking water, and providing education and outreach on all phases of stream management and stewardship to help stakeholders make informed science-based management decisions.
