Title
Delaware River Basin Protected Lands - Cluster [Pennsylvania]
Description
An ambitious effort is underway to protect and restore the Delaware River Basin's water quality and overall ecological health. Kick-started by a $35 million commitment by the William Penn Foundation, the Delaware River Watershed Initiative (DRWI) is targeting eight "clusters" within the basin for conservation investment. More than 50 leading nonprofits have joined together, aligning priorities for land protection and restoration projects and assessing water quality impacts using standardized methods. Partners are focusing on reducing agricultural runoff and urban stormwater in areas of lesser water quality, and they are protecting headwaters, forests, and groundwater reserves where water quality is high.
