Approximately 14% of Whitewater Watershed wells are contaminated by nitrates. New wells must be deeper and older wells are often unusable. How will we protect our drinking water and reduce nitrogen’s impacts downstream?
Most streams in our watershed frequently exceed bacteria levels considered safe for people. How will we improve human and animal waste management to change this?
Our region earns $1 billion from recreational trout fishing every year. How will we keep runoff and movement of soil and sand from increasing water temperature, clogging fish gills, and smothering trout eggs?
