Answer:

TRUE

Water is a precious national

resource. Often, human

activities degrade the quality of

the water in the streams, lakes,

estuaries, wetlands and aquifers

on which we depend. Pollutants

from agricultural and urban

sources have made many of our

waters unsuitable for swimming

and fishing. Excessive sedimentation, pesticides and fertilizers

are harming fish and other aquatic life. Changes in land use also

have had a dramatic effect on

floodwater damage and frequency.

Both surface and subsurface

drinking water supplies are being

impacted by human activities.

Water quality is the end result

of the individual actions of all the

“neighbors” in a watershed.

Rural landowners and community

residents need to look beyond

their own boundaries to improve

water quality and coordinate water

resource management.

Working Trees can help alleviate

water quality and quantity

problems. From upland areas

down to the water’s edge, Working

Trees reduce and slow runoff and

trap pollutants in both rural and

urban settings.

Working Trees means putting

the right trees in the right places

and in the correct design to do

specific jobs. Land managers,

community planners and watershed residents can all use Working

Trees to make high-quality water

a reality.

Quality are part of the solution.
