Audubon Welcomes Bipartisan Bill to Strengthen Cooperative Watershed Management Both chambers of Congress introduced the Cooperative Watershed Management Program Reauthorization Act of 2026 in March. The bipartisan bill—sponsored by Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.), Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R-Ariz.), and Rep. Joe Neguse (D-Colo.)—would extend the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s (Reclamation) Cooperative Watershed Management Program (CWMP) through 2031 and improve funding accessibility to maximize watershed impacts. The CWMP, part of Reclamation’s WaterSMART program, supports communities in forming watershed groups to identify, plan, design, and implement projects that address local water needs. Originally authorized in 2009, the program is well utilized in rural communities to support watershed restoration efforts with projects located in 15 western states, Alaska, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Some of the CWMP funding was awarded to watershed groups and projects that include restoration efforts to improve bird habitats, benefitting hundreds of bird species like the Yellow Warbler, Bell's Vireo, and Southwestern Willow Flycatcher. The CWMP invests in building local capacity to identify and implement projects through a phased approach. Phase I funds are awarded with no non-federal cost share to support watershed group development and planning, with a priority for awarding funds to groups that incorporate the perspectives of a diverse array of...

Promising mid-research results from Pilot Watershed Project at Shallow Run A relatively small watershed in Hardin County is producing encouraging results in the ongoing effort to improve water quality flowing toward Lake Erie. Researchers with The Ohio State University say the Shallow Run Pilot Watershed Project is already showing significant reductions in phosphorus runoff after just a few years of concentrated conservation practice adoption by farmers in the watershed. “We’re seeing really exciting water quality improvements,” said Jay Martin, Ph.D., professor of ecological engineering in The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. “We’ve been trying to reach a 40% reduction in phosphorus going into Lake Erie for many years and really haven’t seen the needle move much. This project is designed to show how we can move the needle.” The Shallow Run watershed includes just over 5,200 agricultural acres in Hardin County, a small area compared to the larger Maumee River watershed, which covers roughly 3 million agricultural acres across northwest Ohio. The project’s strategy? Focus conservation practices heavily within a small area and closely measure the results. “We shrank the scale from the whole Maumee watershed to something more manageable,” Martin said. “It’s about 5,000 acres where we can invest heavily in conservation practices, farmer...

Water flow in prairie watersheds is increasingly unpredictable - but AI could help In recent years, the Prairies have seen bigger swings in climate conditions — very wet years followed by very dry ones. That makes an already unpredictable landscape even harder to forecast, with real consequences for flood preparedness and water quality. The challenge is the landscape itself. Much of the Canadian Prairies sit within the Prairie Pothole Region, a landscape dotted with millions of shallow wetlands and depressions. Water doesn’t simply run downhill into a stream, it is stored first. Then, once enough wetlands fill, water begins to spill from one to the next, and only after that does it connect into channels. Why does this matter now? In a landscape that can flip quickly from soaking up water to connecting it downstream, small differences in how wet the wetlands are can be the difference between a manageable spring season and a damaging flood. The problem is that in many watersheds, we don’t have the local measurements needed to tell whether wetlands are still retaining water or are close to connecting and releasing it downstream. Across the Canadian Prairies — from southern Alberta through Saskatchewan to Manitoba — streamflow monitoring is sparse, and many watersheds have no gauges. These devices measure...

"Saved But Not Safe": Great Swamp Watershed Association Celebrates 45 Years of Protecting Water and Land Long-time GSWA supporters in 1999 (L-R) Julia Somers (co-founder and first Executive Director), Kathy Abbott, Abbie Fair (visionary founder), Susan Deeks, and Penny Hinkle. Photo credit: GSWA MORRISTOWN, NEW JERSEY — The Great Swamp Watershed Association (GSWA) is celebrating its 45th anniversary on March 31, 2026, marking four and a half decades of dedicated protection, preservation, education, and advocacy within the Great Swamp watershed and more recently, the Passaic River region. While the Great Swamp was notably saved from a proposed jetport in the 1960s, by the late 1970s it became clear that the 55 square miles across 10 towns surrounding the Great Swamp were still under threat from the pollution and runoff of rapid suburban development. “Before GSWA was founded, land-use and zoning decisions were made municipality by municipality, with no one looking at the watershed as a single, shared ecosystem,” said Executive Director Bill Kibler. “As developers began to focus on the region, our founders recognized that while the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge was saved, the water flowing through it was still vulnerable to this new and imposing threat.” This growing concern prompted Green Village resident Abigail Fair to coin the rallying cry, “Saved but not safe.”...

Why forest loss is making our watersheds leak rain It’s a well-established fact that forests and water are deeply connected. For decades, paired-watershed experiments — a scientific method for evaluating land-use impacts on water quantity or quality — have shown that when we lose forests, the total amount of water flowing through our rivers tends to rise. But a critical question has remained unanswered: does this extra water come from previous reserves, or is it simply “new” rain that the land is failing to hold? In other words, is forest loss causing our watersheds to lose their internal integrity and leak like a sifter? Our recent study at the University of British Columbia analyzed 657 watersheds across the globe. By using a tool called the Young Water Fraction, we found that forest loss significantly accelerates how fast precipitation travels through a landscape. We estimate that for every one per cent of forest lost, the “young water” in our streams increases by about 0.17 per cent. Crucially, our research reveals that it isn’t just about how many trees are cut down — it is also about the spatial patterns left behind. The way we arrange forest patches can either aggravate or mitigate this leakage. Why watersheds are leaking Young Water...

Pennsylvania Invests $5.5 Million In Projects To Improve Regional Waterways, Help Farmers Increase Environmental Health On Farms Throughout The Chesapeake Bay The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture awarded 16 farms with $392,119 in Sustainable Agriculture Grants, and six conservation organizations with $5.1 million in Public Private Partnership Grants-- both funded through competitive federal funding to the department through the Most Effective Basin program. Click Here for a list of grants awarded in Adams, Centre, Columbia, Cumberland, Franklin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Mifflin, Northumberland, Schuylkill and York counties and for regional assistance programs within Pennsylvania’s Chesapeake Bay Watershed area. “What farmers do and how they do it matters,” Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding said. “Pennsylvania has long been a national leader in conservation of farmland and the soil and water resources we all depend on. That leadership is reflected in the expectations the federal government places on our farmers to improve the Chesapeake Bay’s water quality. “But in federal models that measure progress, our farmers don’t always get credit for the work they are doing toward those goals. These grants are both an acknowledgement of Pennsylvania’s leadership, and a tool that will help sustain their farms, and help give them the credit they deserve for improving the quality of life for our entire region.” Grants are funded through the Pennsylvania Most Effective Basins Program, a partnership...

Watershed development can become India's most effective rural climate strategy India’s rural economy continues to be shaped by the uncertainties of water availability. While large irrigation projects often dominate public discourse, nearly 52 per cent of the country’s gross cropped area remains rain-fed, accounting for a disproportionately high share of agrarian risk and climate vulnerability. In this context, watershed development — frequently viewed as a technical soil-conservation programme — deserves renewed attention as a central pillar of India’s strategy for sustainable rural growth. A watershed is a natural hydrological unit where rainfall drains to a common outlet such as a stream or river. Development interventions within such units aim to conserve rainwater, improve soil moisture, enhance groundwater recharge and restore degraded land. India’s watershed initiatives, now implemented under the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana–Watershed Development Component (PMKSY-WDC), seek to address land degradation and water stress while strengthening farm livelihoods. The scale of the challenge is substantial. Official estimates indicate that over 96 million hectares of land in India face degradation, much of it concentrated in semi-arid and rainfed regions. At the same time, groundwater, which supports nearly two-thirds of irrigation, is being extracted faster than it is replenished in several states. Climate change is likely to intensify rainfall variability, making...

Youth Watershed Council packs a one-two punch, helping both Oregon students and the local environment No cell service. No bathroom. Trudging through mud in rubber boots and climbing over downed trees. Laboring in a waterlogged valley. That may not sound like the average American teenager’s idea of a fun Saturday. But it was for one group of high school and college students recently participating in a yearslong restoration project near Philomath, Oregon. The student volunteers are part of the Youth Watershed Council, led by the Marys River Watershed Council. The youth program began in 2021, and for the last three years, participating students have, among other things, been restoring the environment alongside Shotpouch Creek. The program seems mutually beneficial: The students help the environment and community, all while gaining hands-on experience and volunteer hours. And supporters argue the watershed work has an even broader benefit: At a time when young people face increasing pressures and anxiety — from academics to social media to a deteriorating environment — finding their own community and taking small steps to improve the world around them gives them something positive and productive to do. “I think this generation, we lay a lot on them, like, ‘Oh, it’s your job to fix this,’” said Nina Dominici, the education program director for...

Druid Heights to Jones Falls: Community Watershed Connections in Baltimore Sitting within the Jones Fall Watershed, a sub-watershed of the Chesapeake Bay, lies Druid Heights in West Baltimore, one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods. The state of Maryland has identified the neighborhood as having significant environmental justice concerns including air and water quality, heat and flood risks, and other impacts of pollution. Through engagement, service, and advocacy, the Druid Heights Community Development Corporation (Druid Heights CDC) is working closely with the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) to re-develop and revitalize the green spaces in one of Baltimore’s oldest neighborhoods to improve these conditions. Environmental Outreach, Education, and Engagement Projects Despite sitting near Druid Hill Park and the Jones Falls creek, infrastructure like large highways, train tracks, and lack of access points keep the neighborhood disconnected from natural spaces. As part of Druid Heights CDC’s ongoing efforts to better connect neighbors to nature and address wider watershed health issues, NWF is once again partnering with the community to support greening and watershed education through the Druid Heights to Jones Falls project. This project combines public education on water quality, water pollution, and local watersheds with restoration of community green spaces. In addition to working with Grow Home (a local youth leadership and...

Protecting The Seal River Watershed: An Indigenous-led Fight For Conservation The Seal River watershed in what is now northern Manitoba, Canada, is 12 million pristine acres of forests, wetlands, lakes, streams, and rivers that support iconic species like polar bears, wolverines, gray wolves, and barren-ground caribou. It is also a critically important breeding and migratory stopover location for millions of birds of hundreds of species. Renowned as one of the world’s last remaining ecologically intact watersheds, it covers 50,000 square kilometers of boreal forest and tundra. Stephanie Thorassie (Sayisi Dene) is the Executive Director of the Seal River Watershed Alliance, an Indigenous nonprofit coalition of four First Nations that has been working to establish an Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area to keep the lands and waters protected as industrial interests creep further northward.

Building new hydrography and virtual watersheds to conserve freshwater fisheries Freshwater biodiversity continues to decline across the planet due to anthropogenic impacts1,2,3. Fish species in many regions face extinction and their loss will have far-reaching implications for human well-being4. Environmental impacts that include pollution, land uses, flow regulation, and climate change5,6 accumulate within hierarchical river networks7,8,9. The resulting degraded and fragmented habitats10,11,12 are causing declines in many freshwater and diadromous fish populations worldwide3,13,14. Addressing the challenges that fish species face within freshwater ecosystems in the 21st -century depends on knowing how physical and biological features in watersheds interact to create habitats in river networks and knowing where those habitats are located at the scale of entire basins to regions15,16. Fish habitats are strongly influenced by the longitudinal sequence of channel morphologies17,18,19; channel interactions with floodplains, valley floors, and hillsides20,21; and the density and characteristics of tributary confluences22,23,24,25,26. Food resources and thermal regulation mediated by riparian vegetation, lakes and wetlands, and groundwater and hyporheic processes also influence the spatial distribution and diversity of freshwater habitats27,28,29,30. Thus, features of freshwater ecosystems that influence fish habitats have been studied at varying levels of detail and scale over the last several decades31,32,33.

P.E.I. Watershed Alliance concerned that 'climate action' removed from minister's title The executive director of the P.E.I. Watershed Alliance says it was "shocking" that the term “climate action” was removed from a provincial department's title in last month's cabinet shuffle. Premier Rob Lantz shuffled his cabinet Feb. 12, and named Darlene Compton as minister of land and environment. Before then, that department was called environment, energy and climate action. Lantz moved energy under the transportation and infrastructure portfolio — but climate action is now nowhere to be found. P.E.I. Watershed Alliance executive director Heather Laiskonis said climate change is a reality that requires “dedicated leadership” from the province. “Without somebody steering the ship, both literally and figuratively, we are just going to be back in a reactionary state,” she told CBC's Island Morning. “People aren't going to have co-ordinated mandates on how to tackle climate change without a minister leading the charge.” Laiskonis noted climate change affects many industries in the province — from fishing, aquaculture and forestry to tourism and agriculture. “These are huge, multifaceted, complex, wicked problems and just to take [the portfolio] away without consultation is pretty shocking," she said. The shift shows government is moving away from being a leader on climate change, Laiskonis said, pointing to...

Nature Starts to Heal a Seattle Watershed On a cold and overcast day in November 2025, a small team stood at the edge of a degraded wetland in Seattle, Washington, and excitedly discussed construction plans for a wetland restoration project that had been decades in the making. A 10,000-year-old wetland in Roxhill Park known as the Roxhill Bog is one of the few surviving fragments of a much larger peat bog ecosystem that once flourished in the Northwest. The 5.3-acre wetland is the headwaters of Longfellow Creek, which travels for about four miles before entering the Duwamish River, the only naturally flowing river that still runs through Seattle, and one of America’s Most Endangered Rivers® in 2019. Peat bogs occur in cool, wet environments and are exceedingly rare, covering only 3% of the Earth’s land. They form over millennia from the accumulation of dead plant material and act like sponges, holding water and slowly releasing it over time. This provides stable flows and cooler water to downstream river systems during drier summer months and helps to retain water when it floods. Peat bogs filter water pollutants and provide a home for many unique plants and animals, including sphagnum moss, bog laurel, Labrador tea, Makah butterflies, and bog...

Delaware River Basin Commission And Partners To Conduct In-Person Angler Surveys About The Number, Kind Of Fish They're Catching At Several Locations In The Watershed The survey of angler experiences, known as a creel survey, will provide fishery managers with up-to-date information regarding angler use, expectations and satisfaction within the Delaware River Basin. The Delaware River is the longest, free-flowing river on the Atlantic Coast and is vital for the life history of migratory fishes, including American shad and striped bass, both prized sport fishes. The Delaware River also supports popular fisheries for catfish, largemouth and smallmouth bass, trout and other resident sportfish. “DRBC is pleased to partner with our member fisheries experts on the 2026 Delaware River Creel Survey to better understand recreational angling perspectives throughout the Basin,” said DRBC Executive Director Kristen Bowman Kavanagh. “We hope to hear from our angler community, learning vital information to help effectively manage the fishery and our shared water resources into the future.” The survey began March 1, with survey locations spanning from the Delaware Memorial Bridge near Wilmington, Del., upstream to and including the East and West Branches of the Delaware Rivers near Hancock, N.Y. Surveys will also be conducted on the Brandywine River, Schuylkill River and Lehigh River. These interviews will occur randomly to provide an unbiased assessment of the anglers who utilize these resources...

Farm bill and Trump's glyphosate order magnify pesticides' 'watershed moment' A national fight over pesticide warning labels and manufacturer liability has accelerated in recent months, with Bayer, which acquired Monsanto and its glyphosate-based weed killer Roundup in 2018, at its center. And over the past few weeks, the fight has built “to a crescendo,” Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-ME), a member of the US House Agriculture Committee, tells C&EN. February brought a volley of events in rapid succession: On Feb. 13, House Republicans unveiled a draft farm bill that would mandate uniform pesticide labels nationwide, preempting state and local governments from requiring warnings that differ from those approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency. On Feb. 17, Bayer announced a proposed class settlement for the tens of thousands of people who say Roundup has given them cancer. And on Feb. 18, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order declaring domestic production of glyphosate-based herbicides and the elemental phosphorus that goes into them a matter of national security. He invoked the Defense Production Act to “ensure a continued and adequate supply” and potentially shield manufacturers from liability associated with supplying these products. Some policy experts believe these developments are all tied to the unprecedented number of lawsuits Bayer currently faces. “The...
