South Watuppa Pond, Fall River South Watuppa Pond, Fall River General Information Useful Links: South Watuppa Pond is a 1,460-acre enlarged great pond, which has an Get your Fishing License average depth of 14.5 feet and a maximum depth of 23 feet. The pond receives water from several small streams draining swampy areas, from Freshwater Fishing North Watuppa Pond, from Sawdy Pond via Stony Brook and from Stafford Pond in Rhode Island via Sucker Brook and the Bleachery Ponds. The pond's Trout Stocking Information outlet is the Quequechan River which feeds into the Taunton River and Mount Hope Bay.

  • Tidal Flushing and Eddy Shedding in Mount Hope Bay and Narragansett Bay: an Application of FVCOM
    Tidal Flushing and Eddy Shedding in Mount Hope Bay and Narragansett Bay: An Application of FVCOM Liuzhi Zhao, Changsheng Chen and Geoff Cowles The School for Marine Science and Technology University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth 706 South Rodney French Blvd., New Bedford, MA 02744. Corresponding author: Liuzhi Zhao, E-mail: [email protected] 1 Abstract The tidal motion in Mt. Hope Bay (MHB) and Narragansett Bay (NB) is simulated using the unstructured grid, finite-volume coastal ocean model (FVCOM). With an accurate geometric representation of irregular coastlines and islands and sufficiently high horizontal resolution in narrow channels, FVCOM provides an accurate simulation of the tidal wave in the bays and also resolves the strong tidal flushing processes in the narrow channels of MHB-NB. Eddy shedding is predicted on the lee side of these channels due to current separation during both flood and ebb tides. There is a significant interaction in the tidal flushing process between MHB-NB channel and MHB-Sakonnet River (SR) channel. As a result, the phase of water transport in the MHB-SR channel leads the MHB-NB channel by 90o. The residual flow field in the MHB and NB features multiple eddies formed around headlands, convex and concave coastline regions, islands, channel exits and river mouths. The formation of these eddies are mainly due to the current separation either at the tip of the coastlines or asymmetric tidal flushing in narrow channels or passages. Process-oriented modeling experiments show that horizontal resolution plays a critical role in resolving the asymmetric tidal flushing process through narrow passages.

  • Overlooked by Many Boaters, Mount Hope Bay Offers a Host of Attractive Spots in Which to Wile Away a Day—Or Week—On the Water
    DESTINATION MOUNT HOPE BAY The author’s boat, Friendship, at anchor in Church’s Cove. Overlooked by many boaters, Mount Hope Bay offers a host of attractive spots in which to wile away a day—or week—on the water. BY CAPTAIN DAVE BILL PHOTOGRAPHY BY CATE BROWN ount Hope Bay, shared by Massachusetts and Rhode Island, doesn’t get a lot of attention from boaters. But it should. The bay is flled with interesting places to dock, drop an anchor or explore in a small boat, so you could fll an entire week visiting a new spot every day. Every summer, I spend a signifcant amount of time on the bay aboard a 36- foot Union cutter, so I’ve gotten to know and love this body of water, which offers everything from interesting things to see and do to great dock-and-dine restaurants to scenic spots where one can drop the hook and take a dip. Here are some of my favorite places to visit, as well as some points of interest. The main gateway to Mount Hope Bay (which is named after a small hill on its western shore) is via the center span of the Mount Hope Bridge, with Hog Island Shoal to port and Musselbed Shoals to starboard. You can also enter, from the north, via the Taunton River, and from the south, via the Sakonnet River. Although the Army Corps of Engineers maintains a 35-foot-deep shipping channel through the bay up to Fall River, be mindful of navigational aids that mark obstructions such as Spar Island or Old Bay Rock.

Much of what I discuss has ideological undertones that are a result of my current convictions about design in architecture. This project will explore and test my ideas to see if they “hold up.” The result will hopefully give me an idea of how to act in the real world. The project is the design of a student center at Roger Williams University as a reaction to the Dining Commons that is currently being constructed. The basis for design is a focus on gathering data that includes history, observations, opinions of students and precedent studies. The data must be fundamentally understood, and then the design process

  • How Narragansett Bay Shaped Rhode Island
    How Narragansett Bay Shaped Rhode Island For the Summer 2008 issue of Rhode Island History, former director of the Naval War College Museum, Anthony S. Nicolosi, contributed the article, “Rear Admiral Stephen B. Luce, U.S.N, and the Coming of the Navy to Narragansett Bay.” While the article may prove too specialized to directly translate into your classroom, the themes and topics raised within the piece can fit easily into your lesson plans. We have created a handful of activities for your classes based on the role that Narragansett Bay has played in creating the Rhode Island in which we now live. The first activity is an easy map exercise. We have suggested a link to a user-friendly map, but if you have one that you prefer, please go ahead and use it! The goal of this activity is to get your students thinking about the geography of the state so that they can achieve a heightened visual sense of the bay—to help them understand its fundamental role in our development. The next exercise, which is more advanced, asks the students to do research into the various conflicts into which this country has entered. It then asks them, in groups, to deduce what types of ships, weapons, battles and people played a part in each of these wars, and of course, how they relate to Narragansett Bay. We hope that your students will approach the end result creatively by styling their charts after maritime signal “flags.” Exploring the Ocean State Rhode Island is the smallest state, measuring forty-eight miles from North to South and thirty-seven miles from east to west.

  • APPENDIX B Narragansett/Mount Hope Bay Watersheds Summary Of
    APPENDIX B Narragansett/Mount Hope Bay Watersheds Summary of North Watuppa Pond Fish Toxics Monitoring 1989 through 2007 Introduction Fish toxics monitoring is a cooperative effort between three Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) Offices/Divisions----Watershed Management (DWM), Research and Standards (ORS), and Environmental Analysis; the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game (MA DFG); and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MA DPH). Fish toxics monitoring is typically conducted to assess the concentrations of toxic contaminants in freshwater fish, identify waterbodies where those concentrations may pose a risk to human health if consumed, and identify waters where toxic contaminants may impact fish and other wildlife. MassDEP conducted sampling of fish from North Watuppa Pond in June 1989 (Maietta 1990). Mercury concentrations ranged from 0.61 to 2.4 mg/kg wet weight in the five species tested which included chain pickerel (Esox niger ), white perch ( Morone americana ), yellow perch ( Perca flavescens ), largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmoides ), and smallmouth bass ( Micropterus dolomieu ) (Maietta 1990). Subsequent sampling of fish from North Watuppa Pond was conducted in 1994 (analysis of edible fillets conducted for As, Cd, Hg, Pb, Se, PCBs, organochlorine pesticides) as part of a mercury research project (MassDEP 1997), and in 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, and 2007 as part of the MassDEP ORS Mercury Research Project (analysis of edible fillets conducted for Hg) (MassDEP 2006 and Maietta 2007). Fish were also collected from North Watuppa Pond in September 2000 and analyzed for residues for a group of target analytes (e.g., persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic pollutants (PBTs) such as mercury, dioxins, PAHs, other semivolatile organics, PCBs) as part of the National Fish Tissue Study (EPA 2002 and Tetra Tech, Inc.

  • Chapter VIII. Freeman's Purchase. Method of Dividing and Settling
    Chapter VIII FREEMAN'S PURCHASE METHOD OF DIVIDING AND SETTLING COLONIAL LAND S THE ORIGINAL GRANTEE S FIRST LOT OWNERS TO 171 0 FALL RIVER'S WEST END Freeman's Purchase What is known as the Freeman's Purchase included the land which extends northerly from Bedford Street in Fall River, to the southerly line of Berkley at a brook (known as Stacey's creek) which empties into th e Assonet River. A colonial law had allowed freemen to "seek out lands for the accommodation of them and their posterity'' , but in July 1655 it wa s decreed that this aw should not be effective after June 1656 . Prior to that date Freetown was "sought out " by Captain James Cudworth, Josia h Winslow, Sr., Constant Southworth and John Barnes, and on July 3, 1683 (Vol. 6 p 96) colonial authorities authorized the issuance of a deed to them which covered that territory. The deed bears date June 10, 1686, and in form it was a deed in "free and common soccage" to them for the use of themselves and their associates, e . g. the other freemen whose name s are of record. As this deed has never been published I annex an abstract. It was supplementary, in accordance with the law, to a deed from the Indians, which bears date April 2, 1659, and names as grantors Osamequin . Wamsutta and Tattapanum. Wamsutta was Osamequin 's oldest son, Tattapanum (also known as Weetamoe) was Wamsutta's wife, and as Squa Sachem of the granted territory she made strenuous objections to th e sale until she was placated with a separate consideration .
