Stony Run (Buffalo Creek tributary)

Stony Run is a small tributary stream of Buffalo Creek located in Erie County, New York. It is part of the larger Great Lakes Basin watershed.

While specifics regarding the run's length, drainage area, and specific water quality data are limited in publicly available resources, Stony Run is generally characterized as a small, freshwater stream. Its flow is dependent on precipitation and groundwater contribution in its immediate watershed.

As a tributary of Buffalo Creek, Stony Run contributes to the overall water volume and ecosystem health of the creek. The surrounding land use likely influences the stream's characteristics. Agricultural practices, residential development, and forested areas within its watershed could impact factors such as erosion, sediment load, and nutrient levels in the water.

The presence of Stony Run, like other small streams, is important for local biodiversity, potentially supporting aquatic insects, small fish, and other wildlife. Its connection to Buffalo Creek also contributes to the overall health and function of the larger aquatic ecosystem. Further research and water quality monitoring would be required to provide a more detailed and comprehensive understanding of Stony Run's ecological role.
