Freshwater catalogue

The Freshwater Catalogue is a citizen science project that collects data and local knowledge to improve our understanding of the island’s surface and groundwater over time. 

We appreciate the contributions of the many volunteers who monitored streams, lakes, ponds, springs and wells over a six-year period. Special thanks to former WPS Board member John Millson for initiating and leading this project.

Climate Action Research Lab

WPS is a partner to the Climate Adaptation Research Lab, a local science-based team working on understanding risk and vulnerabilities from extreme weather (drought, atmospheric rivers) to our ecosystems and our communities.  Since 2020, the team has been working in the Maxwell Creek Watershed to understand and address risks to water supply and ecology.
