Welcome to StreamWatch
The streams and rivers of the Rivanna basin provide the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle, Fluvanna, and Greene Counties with a wealth of resources and services, including drinking water, recreational opportunities, waste treatment capability, wildlife habitat, and aesthetic enhancement. However, a large portion of the basin’s waterways are impacted by human activities, and a majority of StreamWatch’s representative monitoring sites do not meet the Virginia water quality standard for aquatic life. With the help of dedicated volunteers, the StreamWatch partnership supplies environmental data to the community to help facilitate wise management of this invaluable ecosystem. Please check out the condition of Rivanna streams, have a look at our reports and consider volunteering or donating.
