The future of fresh water starts here.
Since 1967, Stroud Water Research Center has focused on the science of rivers and streams. No one else studies these systems and how to protect them like we do — collaboratively, independently, and across decades of environmental changes. In our mission to advance knowledge and stewardship of freshwater systems through global research, education, and watershed restoration, we produce the trusted science needed for successful stream and river conservation while fostering people’s passion for the water in their lives.
