Office
Georgia Adopt-A-Stream has five program goals that we encourage you to ADOPT!
- Increase public Awareness of the State's nonpoint source pollution and water quality issues
- Collect quality baseline water quality Data
- Gather Observations
- Encourage Partnerships between citizens and their local government
- Provide citizens with the Tools and Training to evaluate and protect their local waterways
To accomplish these goals, Georgia Adopt-A-Stream encourages individuals and communities to monitor and/or improve sections of streams, wetlands, lakes or estuaries through several levels of involvement. Manuals, training, and technical support are provided through Georgia EPD and more than 70 established Community/Watershed Adopt-A-Stream organizers.
