	Oregon Wild: Protecting Portland's Drinking Water — Oregon Wild
		Rain, fog drip and snow fall in the forested Bull Run Watershed, collect in Bull Run Lake and various tributaries of the Bull Run River and then flow then into the Bull Run River (a tributary of the Sandy River). Since 1895, Bull Run has provided Portland families with safe, clean water to drink.
		The fact that Bull Run continues to provide Portland families with clean drinking water over a century later is no accident-- it is the result of decades of hard work by conservation groups like Oregon Wild and pro-environment elected officials.
		In 1892 President Harrison's proclamation establishes the Bull Run Reserve.
