  • 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.

  • Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES Lakesmart Program
    Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES LakeSmart Program Only with YOUR help will New Hampshire’s lakes remain clean and healthy, now and in the future. The health of our lakes, and our enjoyment of these irreplaceable natural resources, is at risk. Polluted runoff water from the landscape is washing into our lakes, causing toxic algal blooms that make swimming in lakes unsafe. Failing septic systems and animal waste washed off the land are contributing bacteria to our lakes that can make people and pets who swim in the water sick. Toxic products used in the home, on lawns, and on roadways and driveways are also reaching our lakes, poisoning the water in some areas to the point where fish and other aquatic life cannot survive. NH LAKES has found that most property owners don’t know how their actions affect the health of lakes. We’ve also found that property owners want to do the right thing to help keep the lakes they enjoy clean and healthy and that they often need help of professional service providers like YOU! What is LakeSmart? The LakeSmart program is an education, evaluation, and recognition program that inspires property owners to live in a lake- friendly way, keeping our lakes clean and healthy. The program is free, voluntary, and non-regulatory. Through a confidential evaluation process, property owners receive tailored recommendations about how to implement lake-friendly living practices year-round in their home, on their property, and along and on the lake. Property owners have access to a directory of lake- friendly living service providers to help them adopt lake-friendly living practices.

  • The New Deal Versus Yankee Independence: the Failure of Comprehensive Development on the Connecticut River, and Its Long-Term Consequences
    The New Deal versus Yankee independence: The failure of comprehensive development on the Connecticut River, and its long-term consequences Eve Vogel1 Department of Geosciences, UMass Amherst With assistance from Alexandra Lacy 2011 alumna (BS, Environmental Sciences), UMass Amherst Adapted from: Vogel, Eve and Alexandra Lacy. Forthcoming. The New Deal versus Yankee independence: The failure of comprehensive development on the Connecticut River, and its long-term consequences. The Northeastern Geographer 4 (2) Introduction For a person familiar with federal dams on major rivers in the American West or South, a visit to an Army Corps of Engineers dam in New England’s largest river basin, the Connecticut, can be a startling experience. Instead of an extended reservoir, one looks down from the empty heights and on both sides sees only a small river far below. Nor is there the fanfare – the visitors center, the historical information, the celebratory propaganda. Simply finding one of the Connecticut River’s federal dams can take some effort. None are on the mainstem. One must drive through the bucolic New England byways and forested hills to find a dam on a tributary (See Figure 1). For New Englanders, the near-invisibility of federal dams may not seem surprising. New England’s history and identity, including the Connecticut Valley’s, seem to rest with the small- to medium-scale development of rivers with mill dams during the 17th thru 19th centuries (e.g. Delaney 1983; Steinberg 1991). It might be more startling for many to learn that during the mid- twentieth century, the federal government did build a series of very large dams in the Connecticut Basin, which have had profound effect on the river.

The agency consists of the following previously autonomous agencies: Department of Agriculture; Board of Fisheries and Game; Park and Forest Commission; Water Resources Commission; Connecticut Marketing Authority; Shell Fish Commission; Natural History and Geological Survey; and the Interstate Sanitation Commission. Its basic objectives are to effectuate coordination of the policies and programs of the subordinate agencies incorpor­ ated within it and to provide central administrative direction for these agencies. The Council on Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources has the re­ sponsibility of preparing proposed legislation for the 1961 General Assembly to effectively integrate the new department and provide a uniform administrative approach to its interrelated problems. To promote this coordination, the Council was given the authority to make decisions binding upon the subordinate agencies whenever the policies of these agencies conflict.
