Iowa is a “Great Rivers State” bound by the Mighty Mississippi to the east and Magnificent Missouri to the west with hundreds of streams, rivers, creeks, and some lakes in between.

Protecting these valuable resources begins with you! Understand the connection between storm water management and stream protection. By learning more about how to protect and improve the water quality of our streams and lakes informed decisions can then be made.

Identify areas where you contribute to water pollution and make changes. Everyone needs to take an active role. Consider the economic benefits that can be drawn by drawing more attention to the streams and lakes in your community.
