Watershed investment programs aim to sustain the supply of clean and safe water to communities by funding the conservation and restoration of lands that protect water quantity and quality. These programs connect downstream water users (such as water utilities, municipal governments, businesses, and the public) to upstream landowners (such as private forest owners and public lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service). They unite drinking water utilities, rural landowners, government agencies, conservation organizations, and others around the goal of providing safe drinking water through sustainably managed watersheds.
