Watershed Down


When the well is dry, we know the worth of water.

Benjamin Franklin, 1746

Can we afford clean water? Can we afford rivers and lakes and streams and oceans which continue to make possible life on this planet? Can we afford life itself? Those questions were never asked as we destroyed the waters of our nation, and they deserve no answers as we finally move to restore and renew them. These questions answer themselves.

Senator Ed Muskie of Maine, arguing for the passage of the Clean Water Act in 1972

Children of a culture born in a water-rich environment, we have never really learned how important water is to us. We understand it, but we do not respect it.

William Ashworth, Nor Any Drop to Drink, 1982

We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one.

Jacques Cousteau
