The Watersheds Program - Red River Watershed Association
Mission Statement: The mission of the Red River Watershed Association is to enhance and protect the quality and quantity of water in the creeks and streams of our area through activities that educate, promote community cooperation, and encourage responsible stewardship.
Description: The Red River and its tributaries that flow through agricultural, forested and suburban areas of 10 counties in South Central Kentucky and Middle Tennessee. From its headwaters in Sumner County to where it joins the Cumberland River near Clarksville, Tennessee, the Red River and approximately 1,500 miles of creeks and streams collect rain from a 1,482 square mile region. This area encompasses some of the most biologically and historically significant land in Tennessee and Kentucky. The Red River system is also a vital economic resource supplying ground and surface water for livestock, irrigation, and municipal drinking water.

Know what the major Cumberland River pollutant is? Well, it is the DIRT and
the other "stuff" from our yards, our roofs and our driveways that runs off
every time we have a good rain.
If we all kept our dirt in our own yards, the river would be a lot healthier
and safer for everyone.
Visit the Sediment page to learn more about Muddy Waters and what YOU can do
to keep your dirt at home.
