FLOW has a dedicated group of volunteers on the Science Committee (formerly known as the Hellgrammites and the Inventory Committees). The goal of the Science Committee is to collect, review, and evaluate all scientific data with regard to the water quality and the natural resources of the Lower Olentangy Watershed- terrestrial riparian areas as well as the river itself and its tributaries. The committee will be a source of information regarding the river and the life it supports for our educational programs, public events, policy formulation and decision making carried out by other FLOW committees.
