Over the past few years, readers like you have explored some of the hidden forces shaping the health of our streams and rivers. You learned how road salt lingers in groundwater , polluting streams long after winter ends. You discovered how rising temperatures create underwater heat waves that stress aquatic life. You followed research uncovering new mayfly species , important indicators of stream health. You learned how healthy garden soils help support clean water downstream.
These stories reveal something important: Some of the biggest changes affecting fresh water happen out of sight.
