Riverways Program: Watershed Contacts (157 words)
Everywhere you go, you are in a watershed for a river, stream, lake, pond or coastal embayment.
A watershed is also called a drainage basin -- it's the area of land from which water flows downhill into a particular body of water.
Many watersheds have local citizen groups who are working on protecting and restoring their rivers and streams.
American Rivers: (721 words)
The report is not a list of the nation’s “worst” or most polluted rivers, but rather it highlights ten rivers confronted by decisions in the coming year that could determine their future.
Recognizing that the threats facing the listed rivers are seldom unique, each report includes a special chapter that explores a broader issue suggested by the rivers on the list that year.
In addition, rivers previously listed are removed from the list if the threat has already significantly diminished or if there is no major action in the upcoming year that could intensify or ease the threat.
