Welcome to the Chippewa
River Watershed
Project. A watershed
is a body of water (eg. Chippewa River) and all the land that drains
to it. Wherever you live, you live in a watershed. Anyone who lives,
works, plays or passes through the watershed has an impact. The
rivers, lakes and streams of the Chippewa River Watershed are being
impaired by excess nutrients, sediments, and fecal coliform bacteria.
We are all part a part of the problems, so we all need to be a part
of the solution. |
