Forestry, Freshwater Science
Forestry, Freshwater Science Overview
An interesting fact not known to many is that freshwater and forestry are closely related. Forests are relevant to the quantity and quality of freshwater across the world. This makes forests an important aspect of freshwater science. Fresh water science deals with the study of freshwater organisms, water quality assessment, communities and the processes that influence interactions between organisms in these communities. It is reported that about a third of the world’s watershed is covered by forests. Unfortunately, agricultural activities within these forests determine the quality of water that flows through them.
To emphasize the relevance of forests to freshwater, March 21 and 22 are celebrated annually as International Day of Forests and World Water Day respectively. While agricultural activities within forests have the ability to contaminate freshwater bodies, forest trees through their deep and strong roots have the ability to improve the quality of water. Also, through precipitation, forests have the ability to regulate the quantity of freshwater. They have natural and cheaper water treatment abilities that ensure communities have ready access to safe and clean water. This aspect is especially relevant to people and planet as there are currently over 700 million people with no access to clean water across the world. Our services among other benefits enable research on how best to preserve forests for freshwater. Please contact us for more information.
