There are many ways you can get involved and learn how to clean, protect and enhance watersheds in the capital region.
Our urban watersheds are mainly covered in impermeable surfaces such as parking lots, buildings, or roads. Rainwater flows quickly across these surfaces, picking up debris and pollution, and draining into storm drains that then lead directly to local waterways.
You can help protect and enhance our watersheds by limiting the introduction of pollutants (oils, gas, pesticides, fertilizer, chemicals, etc.), collecting rainwater, maintaining native plant gardens and managing water flows.
