Abstract
The White Clay Creek watershed is rich in natural resources and history and provides numerous
benefits to people. However, increasing suburbanization and legacy pollutants threaten to degrade
the ecological landscape of the White Clay Creek. The University of Delaware Institute for Public
Administration’s Water Resources Agency has reviewed 21 environmental indicators to
assess the state of the White Clay Creek watershed. These indicators are divided into four major
categories: landscape, hydrology, water quality, and habitat.
