Water is our region's most precious economic resource. The region's thriving agricultural capacity utilizes most of the water available, and more water is imported from sources from the Great Valley region. Whereas urban usage is significant, much can be done to minimize the waste of water through wise management and some simple changes in lifestyles, like planting drought tolerant plants instead of water consuming yard grasses. Look at the resources below to learn more about our precious water resources!
