The PA Organization for Watersheds and Rivers is hosting a December 10 webinar on the DEP 2020 Integrated Water Quality Report and mapping applications from Noon to 1:00 p.m.

Join POWR and your community watershed organization colleagues for a presentation by DEP staff on the Draft 2020 Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report.

Like the 2018 report, this one conveys tremendous amounts of information in a way that is much easier to find, read, and understand than prior reports.

Plus, DEP has updated the 2020 Integrated Report Viewer, which provides enhanced search capabilities and export functions.

The combination of these two tools can help you access local water quality assessment information and make decisions about ways you can help maintain, protect, and restore those waters.

Visit POWR’s Education webpage for more information on this and past webinars, including presentation slides.

How Clean Is Your Stream?

DEP’s Interactive Report Viewer allows you to zoom in on your own stream or watershed to find out how clean your stream is or if it has impaired water quality using the latest information in the draft 2020 Water Quality Report.
