Welcome to Watershed Activities!

W.A.T.E.R., or Watershed Activities to Encourage Restoration is a compilation of simple, low-cost projects that your environmental organization can use to help protect and restore your watershed and bring needed volunteers and publicity to your cause!  The write up for each activity includes detailed step-by-step instructions so that you can accomplish the project with a minimum of guesswork.

We have categorized the projects by season to help you in planning when to work on each project, however some of the projects can be done in different seasons, so be sure to explore the entire site!  Click on any Season to begin exploring ways that you can help restore your watershed! W.A.T.E.R. is intended to be an ever-growing toolkit of resources and activities, so if you have a suggestion for an additional activity or a missing resource, please feel free to contact the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin (ICPRB) and make your suggestion.  The ICPRB can be reached at 301-984-1908 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

We are working as fast as we can to get our site updated with fresh content, updated links, and fresh solutions for making our watershed better. Please check back with us in late June to see the new summer line. Thanks for your patience while we make ourselves more presentable!
