We all live in a watershed - the area that drains to a common waterway, such as a stream, lake, estuary, wetland, aquifer or even the ocean - and out individual actions can directly affect it.
Watersheds supply drinking water, provide recreation and sustain life. More than $450 billion in food and fiber, manufactured goods and tourism depends on clean water and healthy watersheds.
Programs include a variety of components, including technical assistant, financial assistance, education, training, technology transfer, demonstration projects and regulatory programs. www.epa.gov/nps/cwa-ss319-grant-current-guidance
