Water Protection / Conservation

WMEAC works with you every day to protect water in the Great Lakes region. Above, you can see why; we are stewards of 90% of the fresh surface water in the United States and 20% of the fresh surface water on the planet. Please check out the following internet resources for water protection.

WMEAC is the proud owner of the world's premier rain garden website. Raingardens.org explains how to create a rain garden for schools, homeowners and professionals and will inspire you to manage stormwater in ways you never thought of before.

Alliance for the Great Lakes is a good friend and partner of WMEAC. You can check out their resources here.
