A part of the National RiverWeb Initiative Scientific Journeys This section of RiverWeb explores key scientific, ecological and conservation concepts relating to stream and river systems and the diversity of life within and surrounding these systems.
Explorations examine man's, and nature's, continuing influence on stream and river systems.
These explorations are designed to develop a better understanding of how these issues and their ultimate outcomes affect individuals, communities and society at large. Such a basic understanding is necessary to make informed decisions and plan for the future.
