Über uns
The Center for Watershed Protection works to advance clean water resources and healthy ecosystems through responsible land and water management. Our experienced staff of scientists, planners and environmental professionals are the technical experts who help municipalities, advocates, policymakers and individuals get clean water projects in the ground. Founded in 1992, the Center began as a nonprofit organization dedicated to research and education on watersheds. With an initial focus on protecting urban streams from the impacts of land development, the organization has grown over the years to become a national leader on stormwater management and watershed planning. Some of the Center’s accomplishments include: - Published more than 250 guidance manuals, articles and reports to assist our national audience with their watershed and stormwater management needs - Led or participated on Expert Panels to define the nutrient and sediment removal performance for 11 urban Best Management Practices - Conducted performance monitoring for 7 emerging or under-studied urban Best Management Practices - Worked on stormwater design manuals for nine states and the District of Columbia - Reviewed local development regulations for 75 communities to evaluate how well they work to encourage environmentally-friendly development - Developed management plans for nearly 100 watersheds in 12 states and U.S. territories - Designed and/or oversaw construction for more than 70 stormwater Best Management Practices to treat polluted runoff from development sites with no existing treatment - Helped over a dozen communities find and track down the sources of illegal sewage discharges to the stream - Reached an estimated 22,000 professionals through our training workshops, institutes, webcasts and conferences - Established the first of its kind professional membership program for watershed and stormwater professionals

"We have found that children were worrying a great deal about water; about the quality of drinking water, whether habitats were clean enough for fish and the power of water to create changes to coastal environments. Depending on how these worries were framed by their teachers, we found that responses ranged from children feeling burdened and overwhelmed by climate change or, conversely to activating their sense of agency about how they might respond."Read more below:

Please join us in welcoming Audrey Casper to the CWP team! Audrey joined CWP in August as an intern through the Chesapeake Conservation and Climate Corps. They recently graduated from George Washington University with a BS in Environmental Science, where they developed a passion for coastal systems. From rip currents to saltwater intrusion to ghost forests, Audrey is intrigued by the intersection of water resources and biological resilience. Throughout this internship, Audrey hopes to assist in CWP's bioretention and stream restoration projects and develop their GIS skills to gain a new toolset for protecting communities through environmental change.
