Blacksburg, VA and the Virginia Tech campus sit right in the middle of the Stroubles Creek Watershed. I first became interested in this watershed last fall when I was working in a Soil Chemistry Lab on campus with a PhD student that was conducting an experiment in the watershed. When we were taking soil samples one day, other students from another department joined us. I learned that several studies were being conducted within the watershed at that time, and it was studied by several departments on campus and had been for many years.
When you search for information about the Stroubles Creek Watershed, there are several sources you can choose from, including the Virginia Water Resources Research Center, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, various departments within Virginia Tech, and the Town of Blacksburg. However, all of the information cannot be attained from one single source. That is my goal for this blog: to provide an aggregate of information about the Stroubles Creek Watershed.
