A watershed is an area of land that drains to a particular river or water body. No matter where you live, work, or play you are within a watershed. Fairfax County has begun to develop management plans for each of its 30 watersheds. The goal is to protect and restore streams and their related natural resources, and is an integral part of county stormwater management.

Community involvement is a vital component in developing and
implementing a successful plan. We highly encourage the formation of
community watershed groups for each watershed to maximize community
involvement in all phases of plan development.
