The Delaware River Watershed Initiative
The Delaware River Watershed Initiative
An unprecedented collaboration of over 50 leading nonprofit organizations that have developed shared action plans to reduce threats to water quality in carefully targeted areas
Informed by science, the Initiative is designed to protect and restore ecological systems that provide drinking water to 15 million people and support $25 billion in water-related jobs and industry. Launched in 2014, the Initiative began with a three-year $35 million investment from the William Penn Foundation. It will enable the organizations—including the Delaware Highlands Conservancy—to permanently protect more than 30,000 acres of land crucial to safeguard waterways, complete about 40 restoration projects in degraded areas to improve water quality, and pilot new protection and restoration incentives for landowners and businesses. The Pocono-Kittatinny Cluster is located in the rugged Delaware River headwaters of the Pocono and High Allegheny Plateaus. It represents approximately 10 percent of the Delaware's drainage area, encompassing 1,107 square miles and parts of three states. It includes portions of New York's Catskills and Shawangunk Mountains, New Jersey's Kittatinny Ridge, and Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains.
