Welcome to the Upper Tuscarawas River
Regional Watersheds Website!
Click on a Watershed Below for Information
This website contains maps, links, reports, and general information
on the Upper Tuscarawas River, the
Nimishillen Creek, and the
Chippewa Creek Watersheds of Northeast Ohio. From the creation
of the Ohio & Erie Canal to the development of the manufacturing
industry to the irrigation of fertile farm lands, these three
waterways have had, and continue to play a significant role in
the development of Medina, Portage, Stark, Summit, and Wayne Counties.
The two main goals of this website are:
1) to provide
the most up-to-date information available for the Upper Tuscarawas
River, Nimishillen Creek, and Chippewa Creek Watersheds; and
2)
to supply educational resource materials and
links for those
interested in water quality protection and restoration.
Site Navigation:
To find information specific to one of the three watersheds, simply
click on the watershed of interest on the map above or the corresponding link located at the top of the page. Remember, this site will be continually
adding information
and resources as they become available, so be sure to check back
for updates!
Thank
You!
Lastly, this site was made possible through a grant
from the
Ohio Department of Natural Resources – Division of
Soil and Water Conservation and the
Ohio
Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA), along with support from the
Northeast Ohio Four County Regional Planning and Development
Organization (NEFCO).
