Your Streams


Learn about the health of streams in your neighborhood!
In Hamilton County we are fortunate to have a wealth of information on the biological, chemical and physical integrity of our local streams.  This is thanks to a state-of-the-art stream monitoring program implemented by the Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati (MSDGC) with the assistance of the Midwest Biodiversity Institute (MBI), in addition to an active network of citizen scientist in Southwest Ohio.


You can download reports detailing the chemical, physical, and biological health of hundreds of stream sampling locations from ​​MSDGC's water quality webpage.  You can also access local volunteer water quality information via an interactive map at www.streambank.info.  These on-line tools empower you to explore the condition of streams in your community!   
  • The StreamBank database map - provides chemical water quality data, collected by citizen scientists all over Hamilton County, Butler County, and parts of Clermont and Warren Counties.  The site also features graphing and reporting capabilities which allow you to visualize trends and compare sites.  You can view data for E. coli, nitrates, total phosphorous, pH, conductivity, and turbidity.  This website is currently undergoing improvements which will feature the interactive ability to color-code sample location points on the map based on the chemical concentration of selected parameters.  The site will also offer educational material for each of these chemical parameters, what they mean for stream health, and how to interpret varying levels.
