These projects have included stream and lake monitoring, land use analysis, watershed non-point source pollution inventories, open space needs assessment, ordinance development, water quality modeling, pollution budget development, public education and outreach programs, and management plan development.

Watershed Inventories  

An integral part of almost all of our watershed projects is performing inventories of point and non-point sources of pollution throughout each watershed. We have developed proprietary procedures for inventorying non-point sources in the watershed which combines the use of aerial and GIS maps along with on-site investigation. The result is a detailed inventory of watershed problems that are listed and described in a priority-ranking matrix.

We take advantage of a full suite of remote sensing technologies to analyze broad-scale patterns in land use, valley morphology, and stream type.  F. X. Browne, Inc. performs watershed assessments that involve inventorying non-point source problem areas, riparian buffers, and stream corridors.  We have a great deal of experience in performing such watershed assessments for our clients. 

Our reach-level field assessment work in previous projects has included:
