What is Watershed Education?
Watershed education is an important tool for protecting and restoring both urban and rural watersheds. The primary goals of watershed education include increasing community awareness of watershed issues, preserving local water resources, and gradually changing resident behaviors to reduce the amount of pollutants from stormwater runoff.
Education programs may focus outreach on a single behavior on a broad basis, or concentrate their efforts at the subwatershed level. The most effective watershed education programs focus on key pollutants or behaviors, carefully target their audiences, and survey residents to understand their attitudes before designing education campaigns. |
