Girl Scout Troop 16295 and Cub Scout Pack 254 Water Quality Project On Minnehaha Watershed
The problem
In the spring and the fall, leaves and organic
material end up on our streets, get ground up by cars, decay and are
washed into storm drains. This contributes to the excess nutrients in
water bodies, which degrade water quality by reducing the amount of
oxygen available for fish and other aquatic species. Forty percent of
Minnesota’s lakes, rivers and streams have been degraded by runoff and
other contaminants.
