In this book, Karen Schneller-McDonald presents the basics of water resource protection: ecology and watershed science techniques for evaluating environmental impacts obstacles to protection and how to overcome them and tips for protection strategies that maximize chances for success. Our ability to accomplish both depends on how well we can "connect the drops." We need a healthy environment that sustains our personal and community health we also need vibrant and sustainable economic development that does not destroy the benefits we derive from nature. Often these changes result in ecological damage, flooding, water pollution, and reduced water supply. Land-use activities, however, are changing these natural systems. The water we use depends on networks of wetlands, streams, and watersheds. The need for improved water resource protection, beginning with grassroots action, is urgent.
