Aquatic Quality Urban Action Corps

Case Western Reserve University - OH, Ohio

The departments of geology and civil engineering and the office of student community service at CWRU have been involved in an urban watershed stewardship project for the past 4 years. Faculty have done research on features of the watershed that affect flow, flooding, and aquatic habitat. AmeriCorps members from the OSCS-sponsored, year-round “”Aquatic Quality Urban Action Corps”" have performed stream bed remediation projects and provided environmental education to inner-city residents in the watershed to promote community involvement in its protection.
