Building Reliable Systems: Hydroelectric Dam Monitoring in Western Pennsylvania
Hydroelectric dams are a source of renewable energy, and many have taken the place of fossil fuel reliance across the United States. While they provide green energy to the grid, they also impact the environment above and below the dam. 
 
In order to protect these habitats and mitigate any potential harm, hydroelectric dam operators monitor water quality conditions above and below the dam to ensure conditions meet ecosystem needs. Eagle Creek Renewable Energy has several hydroelectric plants positioned throughout Pennsylvania, and each is managed and monitored by a team of professionals. 
 
One of these managers is Craig Goldinger, a regional manager with Eagle Creek Renewable Energy in Western Pennsylvania.

Still, monitoring the water surrounding island nations is necessary to protect residents and the environment. The CCCCC works to establish environmental monitoring networks and systems in the Caribbean.
