Christina River Watershed

The Christina River Watershed is a land area in Delaware and parts of Pennsylvania that drains rain and runoff into the Christina River, which flows into the Delaware River. It covers approximately 350 square miles and includes urban, suburban, and rural communities. The watershed plays a vital role in providing drinking water, supporting ecosystems, and offering recreational opportunities. However, pollution from agriculture, urban development, and industry affects water quality. Efforts are underway to restore and protect the watershed by reducing pollution, managing stormwater, and conserving natural areas, ensuring the health of both the environment and communities dependent on its resources.
