Stream Health Assessment
Stream health assessment evaluates the condition of a stream ecosystem by examining factors such as water quality, habitat quality, and aquatic life. It involves collecting data on water parameters (like clarity, temperature, and pollutants), inspecting stream surroundings, and observing plant and animal diversity. The goal is to determine if the stream supports a balanced, healthy environment or if it's impacted by pollution, development, or other stresses. This information helps guide conservation efforts, ensuring streams remain vibrant, clean, and capable of supporting wildlife and human needs.
