A living laboratory

The Dry Creek Experimental Watershed, an extension of Boise State’s geosciences and hydrology classrooms, has been in operation since 1999, spanning foothills and mountainous terrain in Ada and Boise counties, about 20 miles north of Boise State’s campus. Geosciences Professor James McNamara, creator and director of the watershed, became interested in creating a long-term field lab for environmental science and hydrological research before he even knew what questions it might help answer.
