  Riverways Program: Watershed Contacts
Everywhere you go, you are in a watershed for a river, stream, lake, pond or coastal embayment.
A watershed is also called a drainage basin -- it's the area of land from which water flows downhill into a particular body of water.
Many watersheds have local citizen groups who are working on protecting and restoring their rivers and streams.

  American Rivers:
The report is not a list of the nation’s “worst” or most polluted rivers, but rather it highlights ten rivers confronted by decisions in the coming year that could determine their future.
Recognizing that the threats facing the listed rivers are seldom unique, each report includes a special chapter that explores a broader issue suggested by the rivers on the list that year.
In addition, rivers previously listed are removed from the list if the threat has already significantly diminished or if there is no major action in the upcoming year that could intensify or ease the threat.

 Mon, Allegheny put on group's list of 10 most endangered rivers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
"To make the list there has to be an imminent threat, and that's there because of the additional acid mine drainage threatening to break out of all those abandoned mines," said Sara Nicholas, director of American Rivers' mid-Atlantic field office in Harrisburg.
According to the group's endangered rivers report, scheduled for release today, failure to reauthorize the federal trust fund, which is financed by royalties paid by mining companies, will short-circuit mine drainage treatment efforts and increase the amount of pollution reaching the two rivers from thousands of abandoned mines.
Nicholas said the rivers were nominated and listed together at No. 5 on the list of endangered rivers because they are "mirror images" of the abandoned mine drainage threat.

Rivers for Life presents a global perspective on the challenges of managing water for people and nature, with a concise yet comprehensive overview of the relevant science, policy, and management issues.
