Watershed Studies – Pennichuck

The Pennichuck Corporation has been working since 1998 on a multitude of projects, the majority of which have consisted of watershed studies. These studies, focusing on both the watershed as a whole and specific components such as pollution source identification and sediment tracking, have been instrumental in Pennichuck’s decision-making process regarding future watershed management and water quality improvements. The studies completed to date are archived in the links below.

General Watershed Studies

Investigations into the health and management of the entire Pennichuck Brook Watershed, including watershed restoration plans.

Pond Sediment Studies

Assessments tracking the movement of sediment throughout the Pennichuck storage pond system and the relationships between pond infill and storage capacity.
