Connected Currents: A Creek Week Panel Discussion on Upstream and Downstream Water Quality
Water connects us all—flowing across communities, industries, and ecosystems. But what happens upstream doesn’t always stay upstream. Join a distinguished panel of water professionals as they explore the relationship between upstream and downstream activities and water quality and the ways different organizations and individuals are involved.
This engaging discussion will bring together experts in stormwater engineering, PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances or “forever chemicals”), watersheds, pollution, sedimentation, and more to examine how human impacts influence waterways from headwaters to receiving waters. Panelists will share their professional experience, research, solutions, and collaborative strategies that protect water quality across entire watersheds!
Panelists include:
Dr. Colleen Brown- UNCW
Emily Sutton- Haw River Assembly
Rachylle Hart- NC PFAS Testing Network
McKenzie Bradshaw, PE, CFM- Durham County Stormwater
