Grand River Watershed

The Grand River Watershed is a large area of land that drains rainfall and streams into the Grand River, which flows through parts of Ontario. It covers about 7,000 square kilometers, including cities, farms, forests, and wetlands. This watershed provides drinking water, supports wildlife, and offers recreational opportunities. Protecting the watershed is essential for maintaining water quality and ecosystem health, as activities like farming, urban development, and industry can impact the river. Effective management ensures the water remains clean and sustainable for future generations while preserving the diverse natural habitats within the region.
