Protecting land protects water quality
Our area is shaped by rivers and streams.
Piney Run, Western Run, Georges Run, Black Rock Run, and other major waterways are the landmarks we use to define our geography.
These rivers and streams feed into Prettyboy and Loch Raven reservoirs, which are major drinking water sources for the entire Baltimore Metropolitan Area. From these reservoirs, the water re-enters the Gunpowder River watershed and flows to the Chesapeake Bay. Protecting our farms and forests protects the quality of the metropolitan drinking water and the Bay.
