Volunteer science data show degraded water quality disproportionately burdens areas of high poverty
Open accessAbstract
Anthropogenic activity degrades stream water quality, especially in urban areas. Quantified connections between pollution sources, degree of water quality degradation, and the disproportionate impact of degradation on underserved communities are not yet fully explored. Here, the anthropogenic effects on water quality and the heterogeneous distribution of degraded streams were examined in the urban watershed of the Rouge River in metropolitan Detroit, Michigan. We used benthic macroinvertebrate data collected by volunteer scientists and aggregated into a Stream Quality Index (SQI) to define long-term water quality patterns. Spatial dependence of the data was assessed with spatial stream network models incorporating socio-economic and environmental predictors. The best model included poverty as an explanatory variable with a negative relationship with stream quality. SQI predictions under true watershed conditions revealed a 1% decrease in SQI with 1% increase in poverty. This work demonstrated the benefits of volunteer science and spatial modeling methods for urban stream modeling. Our finding of inequitably distributed water quality impairment in urban streams underscores the importance of focused restoration in economically oppressed urban areas.

When lack of regulation is combined with ditches' capacity to carry harmful pollutants and pathogens, whose load is typically elevated, often deliberately concentrated, in areas of high poverty, artificial channels become hotspots for environmental injustice and exploitation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
