Drinking Water and Watershed Protection Program

The Drinking Water and Watershed Protection (DWWP) program is a regional service tasked with helping to protect the region’s water resources. Through the DWWP program, we are working to: learn more about water in the region (Water Information & Science), use this information to make better land use decisions (Water-centric Planning and Policy Support), and help communities protect the environment (Water Awareness & Stewardship). All this is achieved through partnerships and collaboration!

The RDN’s Drinking Water and Watershed Protection program goals are to facilitate and/or support regional initiatives that:

• Protect, manage and restore ecosystems and the overall health and functioning of our watersheds and aquifers.
• Safeguard and manage source waters to secure a sustainable drinking water supply.
• Increase water-use efficiency and optimize infrastructure investments for water and wastewater systems.
• Foster the enjoyment and protection of social, cultural, and recreational values and amenities in our watersheds to maintain well-being and quality of life.
• Mitigate and better prepare for climate change impacts on the region’s water resource
