New York City Watershed

A large part of New York City's drinking water comes from the unfiltered Catskill/Delaware watershed. EPA Region 2 works with New York City and State on programs to protect the watershed and to monitor the success of these programs, both from the water quality perspective and from a public health perspective.

Below are several links with more information about EPA's programs that protect the watershed:
