What happens upstream affects your drinking water downstream.
Seasonal and headwater streams matter.
Because small streams and streams that flow for only part of the year are the source of our nations fresh waters, changes that harm these headwater streams affect streams, lakes, and rivers downstream.
These quick cache n' dashes introduce you to some of the headwater streams in the Brodhead Watershed. Visit them during different seasons - see how they change. Still, they matter.
The Brodhead Watershed Association is celebrating their 25th year of protecting and monitoring water resources. They do monthly water testing on many of these sites and through grants and funding have helped place many of these stream signs.
So go ahead - ring up your numbers! And pause a moment to appreciate clean water. Water is life - a finite resource we can't live without.
Oh, and bring your own stick
