AFSRC’s mission is to develop knowledge and technology to increase the profitability of small-farm agricultural enterprises in the Region while enhancing soil and water quality and environmental integrity. An understanding of the Appalachian Region’s hydrology is fundamental for protecting water quality. John Tudek, geology graduate student at West Virginia University, and Derek Hall, AFSRC Physical Science Technician, are measuring water flow from one of the largest springs in the Region.
