Welcome to our Web site!
The Connoquenessing Watershed Alliance (CWA) was
formed in the Spring of 1999. It is a non-profit, grassroots,
volunteer organization made up of ordinary folks of widely divergent ages
and backgrounds. We share a common concern for the quality of the
water in our watershed and an interest in trying to do something to both
improve and protect it. CWA is a small but growing organization with many
interests and activities.

What is a Watershed?
|

Lake Arthur, Butler County, PA |
A watershed is simply an area of land, all of the water within which
drains, ultimately, to one common waterbody. In our case, the
common waterbody is the Connoquenessing Creek. We are interested
in not just the Connie, however, but in all of the streams that are
tributary to it, since they all eventually contribute their water to the
Connie. |
