Chloride is added to road salt to slow ice from forming. While chloride is naturally found in freshwater systems, runoff containing road salt can cause levels to spike. It's why we started sampling for chloride in local waterways. See some of the results https://t.co/FvPd9pN3iQ

Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper is sampling chloride levels to check on waterway health and to study impacts of road salt in the watershed.

Gardens are more than neighborhood hubs to grow food and socialize; they also serve as important greenspaces connected to our watershed. After over a year of collecting community input, @BNWaterkeeper are continuing their work in 2026, exploring restoration planning across WNY.
