Stormwater Awareness and Management

Your day-to-day activities on land have an effect on your water quality, whether it’s your drinking water or your favorite beach, but there are simple things that you can do differently in order to protect this valuable, natural resource.

• Start by familiarizing yourself with the water cycle.
• Then identify the watershed you live in so that you understand which water bodies are affected by your land use activities.
• Build a rain garden or a rain barrel on your property.
• Explore the individual land use activities on the right drop down menu.
• Or, volunteer with the Westchester County Citizen Volunteer Monitoring Program.
