Clean water is vital to all living things. It is the earth’s most valuable resource. Allowing pollution to run off the landscape and into the streams contaminates the drinking water for all living things including people.
Unfortunately, the replacement of vegetation by impervious surfaces like roads, parking lots and rooftops has a negative impact on watersheds. This increases the speed and amount of runoff flowing into surface waters and causes erosion, turbidity, and degraded wildlife habitats.
