 | | A federal grant under the SDWA is providing $1,250,173 for the nine projects conducted by state researchers, local governments, academia and nonprofit organizations to undertake research, monitoring, education, and implementation of management practices in the watershed. |
 | | The New York City watershed covers nearly 2,000 square miles in the counties of Delaware, Greene, Schoharie, Ulster, Sullivan, Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess and provides about 1.4 billion gallons of drinking water per day. |
 | | The State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry and the Yale School of Forestry will correlate the historic development of the Catskill-Delaware Watersheds landscape with significant changes in contaminants of concern to drinking water quality. |
