Road runoff

During the rain (August 2015)
we took a drive around the Waquoit Bay watershed to see where we have problems with road run-off directly into the bay’s tributaries. We found several, the first two in Falmouth and two in Mashpee: the Quashnet River where it intersects with Martin Road; the Childs River at the intersection of Barrows Road; Red Brook where it intersects with Red Brook Road at the border of Mashpee and Falmouth; and, Monomoscoy Road intersection with Hamblins Pond.
