The Community Water Watch Program is a volunteer effort dedicated to cleaner water ways in the Rochester Embayment Watershed. To maintain and sustain our watershed requires the cooperation of our entire community.
Monroe County has been blessed with a rich diversity of water resources. Its northern border is the shoreline of Lake Ontario; the last lake in the Great Lakes system, the largest lake system in the world. The Great Lakes contain 20% of the fresh water in the world, and if drained they would cover the continental United States to a depth of 10 feet. All of the bays and ponds along Lake Ontario's border, the Genessee River, the top quality trout streams, and the wetland areas within Monroe County's borders, eventually drain into the Lake. Any pollutant that is found on the land may eventually be transported to our water resources as part of storm water runoff.
