National Park Service; Rock Creek Park Curriculum based Environmental Education AQUATIC ECOLOGY TOPICS: Water Cycle, Water quality, Adaptations BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Water is a non-renewable resource. It cycles through our system in the forms of clouds, precipitation, ground water, streams and rivers, oceans, plants and animals. A single drop of water in a water bottle today may have been a drop drunk by dinosaurs, it might have been part of the glaciers at one time, and it could have been in the ocean when Columbus crossed it. Conserving and protecting our water from pollution is vital to us as well as to the environment. Once in the water cycle, pollution can often travel, affecting the entire system. For example pollution can be picked up by rain and carried to a hillside. The pollution will then seep into the ground and soil water or runoff into a stream or lake. Plants soak up the water from the soil, and animals drink it from the streams. The pollution can be transferred in the water. One area that often acts as a water cleaner is a wetland. Location: Rock Creek Park Nature Center or Peirce Mill Length: 1.5 hours

From The Forest To The Sea: The Ecology Of Wood In Streams, Rivers, Estuaries An Forest to the Sea The ecology of Wood in Streams, rivers, Estuaries and oceans is Driftwood floating in the open ocean attracts a variety of marine http://www.uswaternews.com/books/bksbycategory/13aEcolNatural/ft1884015174.html

From the Forest to the Sea: The Ecology of Wood in Streams, Rivers, Estuaries and Oceans From the Forest to the Sea: The Ecology of Wood in Streams, Rivers, Estuaries and Oceans is a fascinating new scientific work that discusses the role wood plays in very complex and diverse aquatic ecosystems. Until now almost nothing has been published on this little understood topic. 1. Wood in streams and rivers is a source of food energy for invertebrate organisms; habitat for vertebrate organisms, such as fish; and a structural component that shapes, diversifies, and stabilizes channels while helping to dissipate the water's energy before it can scour channels. 2. Wood in estuaries is a major source of food and habitat for obligatory, wood boring, marine invertebrates that in their feeding , break it down and pass usable carbon into the water's current where it enters the detrital based marine food web. 3. Wood along the coastline stabilizes sand spits, beaches, and dune complexes, as well as battering rocky shores where it creates new habitats for intertidal organisms and provides small splinters of wood to the coastal food chain.

Backgrounder Build Your Own The hydrologic cycle brings continuous supplies of fresh water to the uplands that feed river systems. Photo courtesy of United States Geological Survey (USGS) The Power of Moving Water All around planet Earth, water is on the move. In rivers and creeks, water flows downhill under the force of gravity. It starts off as rain or snow falling on the highlands and mountains. Running water forms tiny rivulets and streams, which gather to form large rivers. Most rivers find their way to the edges of the continents, where they dump massive loads of fresh water and sediments into the oceans. Evaporation from the surface of rivers, lakes, and oceans brings the water back into the atmosphere as invisible water vapour. Under the right conditions, unseen water vapour condenses from the air to form clouds and possibly rain, snow, or hail. Seasonal rain and snowfalls bring fresh water back to the headwaters of streams, completing a very important ecological system called the "hydrologic cycle." By bringing fresh supplies of water to the highlands, the hydrologic cycle ensures that we always have energy available from flowing water. Moving water is one of nature's mightiest forces.

The center is open year round Monday through Saturday from 9am to 5pm. During fish migration season in May and June, the center is open seven days a week. The center houses an impressive interactive exhibit hall that allows visitors to explore the Merrimack River. The exhibits focus on the Merrimack River watershed, historical use of the Amoskeag area, and river wildlife. Visitors can view live turtles, frogs and salmon, play a salmon migration game, generate electricity, and more. In May and June, visitors can experience the unique opportunity to view migrating shad, herring and sea lamprey in our underwater viewing windows. These windows look into a 54-step fish ladder that allows migrating fish to swim around the Amoskeag Dam and continue on their way up the river to reproduce.
