  Remediation efforts on Onondaga Creek

  This series of photos was taken on October 6, 2005 on a visit to two sites on Onondaga Creek. Mark Schaub from the Onondaga County Soil and Water Conservation District described how cross-vanes, j-hooks and rip-rap were used to redirect water to the center of the stream and create pools for fish habitat. These techniques were employed in these two locations to reduce erosion and sediment loading of the stream in the upper reaches of Onondaga Creek

  Macroinvertebrates

  Macroinvertebrates are often used as indicators of water quality. When scientists look at the chemical and physical characteristics of the water in a stream they only get to see the water that is going by them that day. The insects and other organisms living in the stream have to be able to live in it for a long time.

  If lots of different types of insects that can't stand low oxygen concentrations are living in the stream, we can be pretty sure that the oxygen levels in the stream are ususally pretty high!

  We have here some artist's drawings of several of the types of macroinvertebrates you might see if you were to go to a stream with your class. We hope it helps you identify them and find out a little more about the water quality in your stream.
