Surf Your Watershed

Go to http://cfpub.epa.gov/surf/locate/index.cfm to locate your watershed or any watershed in the country.
Search by zip code, city, state, stream name or other parameters.
The search yields a list of groups associated with that watershed, facts and other interesting information.

Encourage your children to investigate the watershed in your next vacation spot or where a distant relative or family lives.
Or, adopt a local watershed or adopt a watershed in a distant location.
Communicate with conservancy groups in that area, compare and contrast regions, or plan a visit to study the area personally.
