New Jersey Water-Resources Projects

The New Jersey Water Science Center conducts projects that involve the collection, monitoring, management and analysis of data on hydrologic and biologic resource conditions. These projects address a wide variety of water-resources issues, including water supply, ground-water contamination, nutrient loading in streams, ecological influences, effects of land use on water quality, and basic hydrologic and biologic data collection. The purpose of this project work is to provide reliable, impartial, and timely information needed to understand the Nation's water resources and enable decision makers to wisely manage the Nation's water resources. Project work is accomplished with funding by State, county, municipal and Federal cooperators with water-resources responsibilities. Some projects provide online sites through which the public can see much of the ongoing work. Results and data from other projects are not available until they are published.

Ecologically Relevant Hydrologic Indices for a Baseline Period of Record for Selected Stream Gages in New Jersey

Map of Eco Flow Sites

The hydroecological integrity assessment process (HIP) has been fully developed for the State of New Jersey (NJHIP). The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection is in the process of applying ecologically relevant ecological flow goals (ERHI's) from the NJHIP to current and future regulation of New Jersey streams, which would assist the NJDEP in incorporating ecological integrity as a regulatory management tool. NJDEP has selected specific primary and surrogate ERHI's from the NJHIP as well as additional indices that are relevant to streamflow regulation procedures.
