Water Quality Maps
New Stones River Water Quality Map
These educational maps can help you determine the water quality of streams near you. Download your watershed map to determine if it is safe to swim and fish in your stream and what you can do to protect local waterways.
The maps simplify the State of Tennessee’s list of impaired waters based on data collected and reviewed from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation. The data is translated for the public to understand if streams are impacted on ecological and human health issues. The publications are user-friendly. First, identify the general location on the map where you live, work, or play to determine if there is a water quality problem. If there is concern, match the symbol on the map to the legend to learn about the concerns and then read the table for a description of the likely causes and sources of the impact.
The publications also go beyond informing you about the water quality and recommend actions you can undertake to make an impact today. Everyone’s small efforts add up to a big difference for keeping our waters clean and healthy!
