Abstract

The Hudson River watershed community faces a number of challenging water quality problems.  Several of these problems are being addressed through The Hudson River Subwatershed & Tributary (THuRST) Research Network (bitly.com/THuRSTnetwork). THuRST is a partnership of Colleges, Universities, and research institutions working in their respective, local watersheds, but using common methodologies, to answer a set of unifying research questions with answers of both scientific and community significance.  The collaborative network facilities the research process through the sharing of knowledge, best practices, and resources.  Preliminary research results from two THuRST projects will be presented.  These projects examine the impact of land use and watershed structure in controlling the delivery of winter road salt to surface streams and the early detection of bacterial contamination in surface streams.  Results from the projects highlight the commonalities and differences in the primary drivers of water quality problems in the Hudson subwatersheds and the importance of using information and data from multiple watersheds to make statewide evidence-based management decisions.
