Stream Management and Turbidity Reduction in the Upper Esopus Creek Watershed

This 38-minute webinar presentation was delivered online on January 28, 2026, by Jason Siemion, Physical Scientist, and Don Bonville, Hydrologist, with the U.S. Geological Survey at the New York Water Science Center. The webinar was offered by the Ashokan Watershed Stream Management Program (AWSMP) as part of Winter Science Webinar series. Stream stabilization projects are used by watershed managers in the upper Esopus Creek watershed to disconnect streams from fine-grained sediment sources. Fine sediments can make stream water turbid or cloudy. Through research grants, the AWSMP has supported studies that shed light on the ability of stream restoration projects to reduce turbidity in streams. The USGS scientists discuss changes in upper Esopus Creek water quality in the context of turbidity reduction efforts and natural channel recovery. The presentations included AWSMP-funded monitoring results from the Panther Kill and Woodland Creek stream restoration projects, and other investigations in the Ashokan Reservoir watershed. The webinar series and recording were produced by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County for the AWSMP with funding provided by the NYC Department of Environmental Protection.
