Why should we care about keeping In the Northwest, clean water and healthy rivers and streams are important to our quality of life. Our waterways are important for recreation, scenery, drinking water, and for salmon and other wildlife. Pollution threatens all of this. A major source of water pollution is runoff from rain or irrigation. Water running over lawns, gardens, streets and rooftops can pick up pollution in its path and carry it to our waterways. In this way oil, grease, dirt, gas, fertilizer, weed killer and many other chemicals enter our rivers. What we do in our homes and yards can pollute our water. Clean water is up to each one of us.
