Stream Protection is a Major Priority Around The Greater Lehigh Valley Area

stream

Protecting our water resources and drinking water supplies has always been a priority for Clean Water Action. This is especially important with so many changes going on in Bucks, Montgomery, Lehigh, Northampton and Monroe Counties. Acres and acres of impervious surfaces are being created by out-of-control development while the frequency of destructive storms has increased the amount of flooding along the Delaware, Schuylkill and Lehigh Rivers and their tributaries. This one-two punch affects homeowners, businesses, drinking water quality and community health throughout the area.

That is one tall order! Since that time, we have had many successes.
