    Cemeteries, Cities, and Streams: How Urban Landscapes Shape Water Quality

    What happens when an urban stream flows through a cemetery? In this episode of ✦ Waterlines: How Water Shapes Our World ✦, a student interviewer sits down with hydrologist Sam Nesheim to unpack new research on how cemeteries and other urban infrastructure influence water quality. Together, they explore how nutrients, road salt, and groundwater interactions shape the chemistry of a city stream — and what scientists discovered about nitrate sources that challenge common assumptions. This conversation brings cutting-edge hydrology research into everyday language, revealing how human landscapes and natural water systems are deeply connected.
