Our Partners come in different sizes and cover different geographies.  The core stewards we strive to empower and learn from are watershed groups.  Self-selected water stewards are the experts for their stream or basin, and they tend to organize as watershed groups, or adopt a stream on their own initiative.  The H2O Water Network will work to strengthen the capacity of these water stewards across the entirety of the Upper Ohio River Basin.

The first step is to identify these water stewards and watershed groups.  We have developed the Watershed Directory and Map and will be working to make sure the information is correct, up-to-date, and representative of the work being done.

We also appreciate the work of Conservation Districts and their respective watershed coordinators.  They provide the first line of assistance for volunteer water stewards with local government and regional  programs.
