About this user

Who we are:

We are a unique non-profit group that believes we can have both a strong economy and a healthy environment. Our membership reflects this belief. The Compact is made up of businesses, individuals, community organizations and agencies working in the Cumberland River watershed ("the boot").

Over 2 million people share this watershed. Compact members work with all interested organizations and individuals to help ensure that our rivers and streams continue to provide us with clean water, bountiful crops, healthy fisheries and abundant recreational opportunities.

Philosophy on Education:

Education can take many forms:

Teachers and students learning about life in their local streams.
Landowners learning new methods that help them take better care of the land alongside their stream.
Contractors learning new techniques that help them work near streams without harming water quality.
Boaters learning how to be better river stewards.
Members of the Cumberland River Compact work with educators, landowners, contractors, marinas and other interested groups. We coordinate information and education programs that encourage all of us to be better stewards of our water resources.

FACILITATES...

We work with local, state and federal agencies and officials to promote and strengthen cooperative working relationships and encourage the development of reliable, easy-to-understand data about water quality.

COOPERATES...

Only by involving everyone can we achieve our goals. Members of the Compact work with local communities to develop watershed forums where citizens can come together to learn more about their watershed and participate in developing a shared vision for the future.

COMMUNICATES...

Often there are programs and services available to landowners and businesses that can help improve water quality. The Compact serves as a clearing-house of available public education programs to landowner assistance - we serve as a "one-stop-shopping" source of information.

THE FUTURE

The Cumberland River watershed is a beautiful place to live and work. Many businesses recognize this and are relocating here. As our population grows, it is our challenge to continue to improve the water quality in our rivers and streams. We believe that if we work in an atmosphere of open dialogue that is supported by easily understood data about our water quality, we can create imaginative solutions to new and old problems. Solutions that will work for all of us. We encourage to join us to help speed this important work. Clean water is the liquid of life. We all live downstream.
