Watershed Program
The District's Watershed Program works at a local level to foster a community-based watershed stewardship effort involving elected officials, citizens and watershed groups. The program focuses on three main objectives in establishing healthy watersheds:
1. Enabling Public Involvement and Education through Stewardship Activities
2. Providing support to Watershed Groups and Local Public Officials to guide and implement watershed initiatives and watershed planning.
3. Identifying and developing opportunities to improve and protect watershed resources in collaboration with local communities and regional, state and federal partner agencies.
What is a watershed and how do they work?
A watershed is simply the land that water flows
across or under
on its way to a stream, river, or
lake. Our landscape is made
up of many
interconnected basins or watersheds. Within
each
watershed, all water runs to the lowest
point - a stream, river, or
lake. On its way, water
travels over the surface and across
farm fields,
forest land, suburban lawns, and city streets, or
it
seeps into the soil and travels as ground water.
