MISSISSINEWA & WABASH RIVERS
INFORMATION

In Fall 2014 — the second iteration of Water Quality Indiana, enrolled students documented & collected data from several logjams obstructing the Mississinewa River.  While the logjams have shifted over time (thus making the original scientific data collected obsolete), the pictures below indicate the size and severity of the logjam issue in this waterway.  Student efforts contributed to a successful grant submitted to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, and logjam removal has begun. Partners for this iteration include Red-tail Land Conservancy, a non-profit land trust in East Central Indiana, and the Upper Mississinewa River Watershed Partnership, a community-based initiative funded through the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.
