Soil, Water Stewardship Week set
Special to the Journal-Spectator
The Wharton County Soil and Water
Conservation District wants to remind
you that each of us has a connection to
natural resources. The National Associa-
tion of Conservation Districts (NACD) is
celebrating the 58th year of Stewardship
Week April 28-May 5. The 2013 Stew-
ardship Week is themed, ‘Where does
your water shed?”
“Clean water is important to every-
one,” National Association of Conser-
vation Districts President Earl Garber
said. ‘Watersheds come in all shapes
and sizes. They cross county, state and
national boundaries. Every inch of the
land on planet Earth is part of a water-
shed. In the continental U.S., there are
2,100 watersheds; if we include Hawaii,
Alaska and Puerto Rico, the count rises
to 2,267. No matter where you are right
now, you are in a watershed.”
Less than 1 percent of all of the water
on the planet is fresh water. The average
citizen in the United States uses 70 gal-
lons of water every day; and this does not
include the water it takes to manufac-
ture the automobiles, clothing, and food
we depend on each and every day. Take
time to learn about your local community
water supply sources, and volunteer for
river, stream or beach clean-up days. You
can make a difference.

tershed, including an app for your com-

Wharton County SWCD is a member
of the National Association of Conserva-
tion Districts (NACD) which oversees the
Stewardship Week program.
