The Watershed Science Laboratory at Worcester State University serves to focus faculty, student, and community attention on watershed issues. A watershed is an area of land that drains all of the rain and snow that falls within it to a single larger body of water such as a river, lake, or the ocean. Watersheds are a fundamental component of the geologic, hydrologic, ecologic, and cultural/industrial landscape and serve as a basic unit for addressing many regional scale management decisions related to complex, interdisciplinary environmental problems.
Worcester State University's 2015 Strategic Planning Implementation Fund received more than 40 proposals and twelve were awarded funding. Among the proposals funded:
