Clean Water Action Plan
Watershed restoration and enhancement are key elements in the Clean Water Action Plan. States and tribal governments were charged with identifying and prioritizing those watersheds in greatest need of restoration and protection in unified watershed assessments. They were guided by the The Unified Watershed Assessment Framework. This document described general approaches and information to guide governments and other interested parties with the unified watershed assessment process. Stakeholder groups in the watersheds are being formed within the states to identify action strategies for restoration for the individual watersheds (watershed restoration action strategies or WRASs). These groups will have the opportunity for participation in the WRAS for protection and enhancement.

Community Based Environmental Protection
Community Based Environmental Protection (CBEP) seeks to address the various causes of the problems and understand the interrelationships between human behavior and pollution in a specific area. CBEP supplements and complements the traditional environmental protection approach by focusing on the health of an ecosystem and the behavior of humans that live in the ecosystem's boundaries, instead of concentrating on a medium or particular problem.

Volunteering in Your Watershed
Two EPA Web sites- one Regional, one National- provide information on how you can join other volunteers in monitoring water quality conditions in your community streams, lakes and rivers! A calendar of activities and addresses of regional volunteer groups, as well as other links and information, are provided.
