Roadside ditches

How can you participate in the ditch project?

Because most ditches have not been mapped, students can contribute valuable data on ditch lengths, locations, management types, and surrounding land uses.

With Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, you can map ditches, including connections with impervious surfaces and streams or other water bodies.

You also can design and conduct your own ditch studies.

What are some topics for student ditch research?
