  Floods Report The Blacksburg township, including Stroubles Creek, has a documented history of both drought and flood events, which are connected to changes in climate patterns and land use. Past droughts and floods in the Blacksburg and Stroubles Creek areas have shaped both the environment and urban planning strategies. Meanwhile, local and national agencies have established monitoring systems using streamflow gauges to track water conditions and hazards. Until the 1900s, urbanization was not a significant issue within the Stroubles Creek watershed region due to its low population density, limited university buildings, and a small downtown area (Parece et al., 2010) .   However, over time, the watershed has changed land use due to infrastructural developments and agricultural activities in and around the Virginia Tech campus. This partly contributed to the establishment of the Blacksburg Weather Forecast Office (WFO) in 1994 as part of the National Weather Service (Robert...

The Stroubles Creek watershed in Blacksburg, Virginia, exhibits a diverse range of physical, chemical, biological, and geomorphic attributes, shaped by both natural and human-induced processes. Photo credit: Emmanuel Edusei (self) Stroubles Physical Structure and Scale   Stroubles Creek is a freshwater second-order stream flowing 15 kilometers (9.2 miles) from the Town of Blacksburg, through Virginia Tech’s campus, and then into the New River. The 14,336-acre Stroubles Creek watershed is a sub-watershed of the New River Watershed (Parece et al., 2010).  Hydrologic and Hydraulic Processes Stroubles Creek originates from three springs in the Town of Blacksburg, Virginia. These springs form streams that flow through the Town, the Virginia Tech campus, and merge to form the Virginia Tech Duck Pond. From the town of Blacksburg, Virginia, it streams through the Virginia Tech campus to the New River, the Kanawha River, the Ohio River, the Mississippi River, and then finally, into...
