Restoring Plum Run: Turning Red Streams Blue
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Clean water is vital. In Chester County, Pennsylvania, people are working together to restore the health of their drinking water sources. A red stream is an impaired stream that does not meet water quality standards. A blue stream has a clean bill of health. Watch as Plum Run, part of the Brandywine River Watershed, is transformed from a red stream into a blue stream. Through creating a level floodplain to reduce erosion, planting trees, and removing grass that's so compacted that it's practically a parking lot, Plum Run is restored to a much healthier stream.
This project is the result of collaborative efforts by Brandywine Valley Association, the Chester County Conservation District, Clauser Environmental, and local homeowners.

I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. Our city built a 10 acre wetlands area on West side of town to control flooding. It worked.
Lovveeeee thiss videooo!!
🙏That was interesting,Thank you, from Aimee Evoli,Exton,Pa. Thank you for caring for our environment and Wildlife.😊
THANK GUYS. YOU CAN'T MAKE UP YOUR MINDS HOW MUCH YOUR HAVE JUST HELPED THIS (ALMOST LONE ) BRAZILIAN AT MY LABOR, ROUND HERE IN MY TOWN. GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOR STUDYING SO MUCH AND FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE.
Lllll
Your right, except god would have drowned everything. A year under water doesn't work.
I fish the brandywine every year a few times for trout season

Very informative. This is a great teaching video. Thanks for the suggestions on what we can do in our own yards.
Love this video too much, cannot wait for your next video! Thanks!
Thank you.

Great work.
Introducing beavers could be an option. Tho many assume they are a nuisance and problem there are methods that can mitigate the issues associated with them. They can accomplish all of what this video is about at a fraction of the cost.
You are 100% correct. To avoid becoming a water deprived state like the west I strongly believe beavers in pa need to be reintroduced in urban areas and protected in the same way the bald eagles are. Beavers are the number one influence in ground water retention.
Beavers are free landscapers! They belong here. Free range cattle do not.
Beavers may not be a good option since they spread Giardia and the Brandywine is a source for drinking water. Beavers have had to be trapped out of reservoirs because of Giardia outbreaks.
Check Dams made from wired together gabion stone would help very much as well.
Similar problems with run off from hard surfaces in the U.K.
I should have said. Nice Work. You are right
Keep going
Where’s the beavers?
New York City wished it did this 10 years ago right about now.
I wish that everyone possible could collect their own rainwater.
Right? There are some states and cities that forbid you from collecting rainwater.
I think that in Texas there's a state law that forbids restrictions against rain water collection.
Wow my grandma owns a mile of a creek its fed by a spring and it erodes the sides of the creek because when rain comes down the flint hills it rushes down its a really clear stream thow love to swim in it and in some places you can find bass so i love it but anways i love wild life but when its a city i mean o well glad i live in kansas where 3/4 people live in the country or rurall areas for you city slickers
Talking about Restoring Plum Run. Talking about Turning Red Streams Blue.
Did you know that the endangered female bumblebees hibernate in the dirt streambanks over a long, cold Winter? Did you know that the bank swallow and kingfisher build their nests in a dirt streambank? The river trees, black willow, eastern cottonwood and water elm have been harvested for wood or died from Dutch Elm disease? The black willow tree was used for artificial limbs after the Civil War because the wood bends but does not break. The eastern cottonwood was the favorite wood for coffins. The eastern cottonwood needs a mixture of dirt and sand after a flood for the eastern cottonwood seeds to germinate.
Bring back the beavers to create wetlands.
There are Beavers in the Brandywine creek area, and Beaver Creek, Edges Mill ,Downingtown. Also ,the River Otter. They are secretive, but you can see their activity in one gets lucky walking the ferry banks.5/21/24.
Transplanting SEDGES on toe of stream bank,, best grasses for erosion controll ,,,,,BYE, CIAO , FROM ITALY
Hola
Well, I know ou know about beavers.
Employee the beaver
Get beavers
feel bad for the land owners that you are flooding....
Did you not watch the whole video?¿
flooding is a natural process of rivers. if you are worried about flooding, don't live in the freaking floodplain. water quality, water quantity, flooding, wetlands, etc. are important for a good quality of life environmentally. It's not the river's fault that you decided to live in the floodplain. rivers flood, get over it
@@katieschlea4 this is not natural they are Forcing it... it is man made.
@@Master-ls2op they are returning the stream to more natural conditions so that overall flooding is reduced.. there has been too much human influence affecting river flows, increasing overall flooding. This will reduce flooding of peoples yards and it will reduce river erosion..
Don’t live in a flood zone, don’t try to control a flood zone. What was done along the Mississippi, narrowing it wth levies, has been nothing but a huge costly mistake.
Where we can keep water out of are streams is the best hahahaha then peoole say where in globall warming i love what y our doing but i mean its fun to laugh at hahaha
Global warming means warmer not wetter.
Global warming may cause more extreme weather like droughts and floods
A beaver would have done this but man kill them
