The headwaters area of the Bronx river has been built up for a long time and is still growing. Look into the watershed concerns that accompany intensifying development.

DAMS
In the 1920s, the building of a major dam reduced water supply to the Bronx River and limited its ability to provide animal habitat. Are dams an issue near you? Go to Dams.
ROADS
Roads are great for people on the move, but they're hard on wildlife. Take a look at what they can mean for animals. Go to Roads.
RESERVOIRS
A key part of New York City's water-supply system is the 1915 Kensico Reservoir. Look at how drinking water is screened and find out what the auto-related pollutants are. Go to Reservoirs.
