The Little Pigeon Creek Watershed extends into Dubois & Pike counties in the north. The eastern portion lies in Spencer county to the east, while the majority of the watershed is within the Warrick county area. Issues within the watershed? A study of the Little Pigeon- watershed identified dissolved oxygen, nitrates, E-coli, sediment loading & phosphorus. What are doing in the watershed? We will begin water quality sampling in the spring to determine the state of the water within the watershed. Also, we will conduct vegetation, soil and macroinvertebrates in the study. What can you do? Get involved. We are currently planning on having a meeting to discuss issues within the watershed. Do you live in the watershed? Would you like to be involved somehow? Look here for an announcement for the meeting date & time. |
