Our waterways are a distinctive part of our region – sustaining wildlife, recreation, business, and community development. Unfortunately, pollution collected from parking lots, driveways, and roads throughout the basin flows directly into our precious waterways. This untreated water from rain and snowmelt pollutes the Rock River and its tributaries.

Fortunately, simple changes in our daily lives can make a big impact on water pollution. You can take simple actions at home and at work to make sure the water that does flow to the rivers stays clean. Do your part to protect the rivers and streams in your community!
