we all live in a watershed


EPA Announces New Blue Ribbon Water Quality Trading Awards Program (November, 2006)

National Wetlands Awards Nomination Forms Now Available (November, 2006)




We all live in a watershed -- the area that drains to a common waterway, such as a stream, lake, estuary, wetland, or ultimately the ocean -- and our individual actions can directly affect it. EPA and its partners are working together on a watershed basis to protect the nation's water resources.
