Creek Watch enables you to help monitor your watershed. Creeks and streams are a vital part of watersheds; they provide water to drink and sustain plant and animal life. However, they can also be a pathway for pollution to spread, and they are often too numerous for water boards to monitor without help.
Creek Watch provides an easy way to lend a hand by reporting on any waterway you pass. We aggregate reports and share them with water control boards to help them track pollution, manage water resources, and plan environmental programs.
