We All Live Downstream From Someone!

We all live down-river, or down-stream, from someone. Have you ever thought about what someone does up-river from you, is affecting your water quality? Conversely, have you ever thought about what you are doing will affect a neighbor, a family member, a community or a friend, down-stream. Here are some of the communities that might be up-river or down-river from where you live. Are you eating fish from, swimming in, or drinking water from a portion of the Spring River Watershed that is being polluted, and contaminated by your 'neighbor' up-stream?
