The Chambers-Clover Creek Watershed Council looks forward to the rain that will surely come as the weather cools and days shorten. However, many parts of the watershed struggle to recover from low rain years and diverted water. For the past five years, parts of Clover Creek have run dry, adding to the stressors and pressures for clean and plentiful water. Urbanization has positive and negative impacts on water quality and quantity, as noted in our 2024 blog series on urbanization. This month, we offer thoughts about seasonal changes that reveal watershed realities; see https://cloverchamberscreekwatershedcouncil.blog/2024/09/06/urbanization-seasonal-changes-and-water-stressors/
