We all have a stake in at least one part of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed: our own neighborhood, our own street, our own field, or our own back yard.  Cleaning up the Chesapeake Bay begins with cleaning up our own little part of it.  The headwaters of the bay are in our backyards.  We may not feel that we are close to the Bay, but water always flows down hill and if we live within the Chesapeake bay Watershed, whatever water leaves our downspout or flows off our driveway or the roof of our place of worship ultimately ends up in a local stream and eventually in the Bay.

Where Does Your Water Flow? 

It all depends where you live, that is which river's watershed you are in.  Every drop of water falling on the ground in a specific watershed flows or percolates into a stream or river.  So which watershed do you live in?  Where does your water go?
