Hunt River Watershed Association

Watershed - Aquifer - Ecosystem

Programs


Since 2007, the Hunt River Watershed Association has worked with URI Watershed Watch to recruit and train members from Rhode Island Communities to monitor water quality and to develop a plan to protect the Hunt River.  Citizens living in portions of Coventry, Exeter, East Greenwich, North Kingstown, Warwick, and West Greenwich all obtain water from “The Hunt,” and rely on the high quality and sufficient quantity of this watershed to provide a safe and bountiful supply.

Additional community members are always needed and always welcome.
