Pomperaug River Watershed Fund-A-Need Auction

The Pomperaug River Watershed Coalition Fund-A-Need Auction raises important funds to support student internships and the Youth Conservation Corps, watershed monitoring and restoration initiatives, environmental outreach programs, science-based development of and advocacy for sustainable water and land use policies, and other vital work to protect your rivers and drinking water.

The Pomperaug River Watershed Coalition (PRWC) mission is to promote clean water and sustainable use of water in our watershed, both groundwater and water in the river, by reaching out through education and fostering a science based understanding of the water resources that we all depend on.

PRWC accomplishes its mission by employing the latest science to advance best management of the watershed and by creating a partnership of local governments, businesses, private individuals, scientists and environmental groups who work collaboratively with regional, state, and federal agencies to protect the health and vibrancy of the Pomperaug Watershed.

In addition to its research and collaborative activities, PRWC develops practical water management tools for use by municipalities, offers an online resource center for residents and other stakeholders, engages numerous volunteers in citizen science projects and conducts classroom and field-based educational activities for children and youth. PRWC has evolved into a nationally recognized model for scientific investigation, municipal assistance, stakeholder collaboration, community education, and volunteer engagement.
