  • The Farmington River Watershed Map
    Farmington River Watershed Education Curriculum: Elementary FRWA Curriculum Guide Week II Watershed 28 Farmington River Watershed Association Farmington River Watershed Education Curriculum: Elementary Watershed – Background Information “The river moves from land to water to land, in and out of organisms, re- minding us what the native peoples have never forgotten; that you cannot separate the land from the water, or the people from the land. – Lynn Noel, Voyages Canada’s Heritage Rivers A watershed consists of an area of land and water where water drains into particular water basins, such as rivers, lakes, ponds, wetlands, or streams. It encompasses all the land, animals, plants, buildings, towns and people within the area. The precipitation that falls that is not used by the plants or animals travels within the watershed. Land elevation determines the flow of water, while surrounding ridge areas define the boundaries. Farmington River Watershed is a sub-basin of the Connecticut River Watershed. All the tributaries of the Farmington River are included in the watershed. The area of land encompasses 386,000 acres, or 609 square miles, which drains into the Farmington River and its tributaries. Included in the watershed are 10 towns in Massachusetts and 23 towns in Connecticut. The Farmington River, in turn, drains into the Connecticut River. The 81 miles of river begin at an elevation of 2,180 feet in the Berkshire Hills of Becket, MA, traveling 16 miles through Otis and Tolland, and enter Connecticut in Colebrook at 1,300 feet. The west branch river flows through land areas that feature hills, ponds, wetlands and lakes.

The bridge is one of five movable bridges along the Northeast Corridor rail line between New Haven, Connecticut and Boston, Massachusetts. The completion of the bridge project is an impor- tant milestone in Amtrak’s plans to replace outdat- ed infrastructure, increase capacity for rail opera- tions, and improve reliability and trip times on the Northeast Corridor, by providing sustainable travel options that support a vibrant, growing economy in the Northeast Region. One of Amtrak’s most complex capital projects, the bridge replacement was partially funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and successfully completed in May 2013. Prior to its re- placement, the old Niantic River Bridge served as a key link for passenger and freight rail traffic be- tween New York and Boston.

  • Thames River Basin Partnership Partners in Action Quarterly Report
    Thames River Basin Partnership Partners in Action Quarterly Report Summer 2018 Volume 47 The Thames River watershed includes the Five Mile, French, Moosup, Natchaug, Pachaug, Quinebaug, Shetucket, Willimantic, and Yantic Rivers and all their tributaries. We’re not just the "Thames main stem." Greetings from the Thames River Basin Partnership. Once again this quarter our partners have proven their ability to work cooperatively on projects compatible with the TRBP Workplan and in support of our common mission statement to share organizational resources and to develop a regional approach to natural resource protection. I hope you enjoy reading about these activities as much as I enjoy sharing information about them with you. For more information on any of these updates, just click on the blue website hyperlinks in this e-publication, but be sure to come back to finish reading the rest of the report. Jean Pillo, Watershed Conservation Project Manager Eastern Connecticut Conservation District And TRBP Coordinator Special Presentation If you missed the July 2018 meeting of the Thames River Basin Partnership, then you missed a presentation by Chuck Toal, Avalonia Land Conservancy’s development and programs director. Chuck gave a presentation on the 50 years of accomplishments of ALC as a regional land trust. ALC is focused on 22 towns in southeastern Connecticut. ALC, which oversees 4000 acres of preserved land, achieved accreditation in 2017. Their success has resulted from a working board of directors and the establishment of town committees to focus on smaller areas. Their current focus is to be more selective on land acquisition, particularly concentrating on building blocks of open space while also building an endowment fund land stewardship going forward.

  • Ph River, Brook and Tributary Sites the Normal Ph Range For
    2016 Parameter Data: pH River, Brook and Tributary Sites The standard measurement of acidity is pH. A pH of less than 7 is acidic; above pH 7 is alkaline, also known by the term “basic.” The pH measurement is a logarithmic measurement, which means that each unit decrease in pH equals a ten-fold increase in acidity. In other words, pH 5 water is ten times more acidic than pH 6 water. Aquatic organisms need the pH of their water body to be within a certain range for optimal growth and survival. Although each organism has an ideal pH, most aquatic organisms prefer pH of 6.5 – 8.0. Watershed LOCATION MAY JUNE JULY AUG. SEPT. OCT.

  • The New Haven Harbor
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 1984 Volume VI: Geology and the Industrial History of Connecticut Gateway to New Haven: The New Haven Harbor Curriculum Unit 84.06.10 by Carolyn C. Smith There are many theories as to the origin of our vast universe. As we know, the earth has been around for billions of years. Looking around us we can’t help but question how this creation of our planet came to be as it is today. Through experience and past knowledge it has been brought out that there are three major forces which are responsible for our land formations: 1) glaciers, 2) volcanoes, and 3) water. The purpose of this unit is to show how the geographical location of the New Haven Harbor has affected the lives of the people living in New Haven by focusing our attention on the phenomena of nature which has been prevailing for millions of years. When this unit is completed the students will: 1. Know how the early settlers made use of the New Haven Harbor. 2. Know the three main geographical divisions of the state of Connecticut and how they came to be. 3. Be able to discuss the Triassic fault and what effect it has on the New Haven Harbor. 4. Know how the channel of the New Haven Harbor has changed in the last two centuries and how these changes are affecting our social and economic growth today. 5. Know what proposals the city of New Haven has made to protect the New Haven Harbor for future use.
