No matter where you
are....at home, work or play....
YOU ARE IN A WATERSHED.
A watershed is any surface area of land
that drains into a water body (creek/stream, river, lake etc). All
land eventually drains to a water body. That is why it is so important
to protect all water resources.
YOU can help
be a
solution to water pollution!
The WaterWorks! program is dedicated to educating
Tennessee's citizens about the importance of our local water quality and
the vital role water plays in all life. We believe improved water
quality is tied to citizens taking an active role in
protecting our valuable water resources through:
-
education & understanding
of water topics and watershed issues
- information
& knowledge of
available water resources including monitoring and reports
- participation
in state & local
events as well as ways to make a difference at home.
This site is structured to raise
public awareness & to serve all
citizens:
-
citizens &
families
(adults & youth)
- teachers (formal & informal educators)
- farmers
- builders & developers
- business owners
-
municipalities &
storm water managers
