Hoover Watershed Water Web Feature Watersheds are our source of water. The vast silent highways of river and streams, both above and beneath the ground, flowing through lakes, ponds and aquifers, and eventually to the sea, provide water for all living things. Each watershed is structured and bounded by its own geological and geographical features. Kent State University at Stark created a documentary film “Watersheds Water Webs” which focuses on the watershed and a small set of biological ecology researchers who are gathering information crucial to understanding and preserving our water resources.

Wilderness Center Falcon Flats Wetland Restoration project. Wetlands used to be considered useless swampland, but no longer. We now know that wetlands provide clean water to surrounding communities, acting as "kidneys" to remove impurities and as buffers to prevent flooding. Thirty percent of all endangered species rely one way or another on wetlands, for nesting, resting, or feeding. In Ohio, almost ninety percent of the wetlands have been destroyed or degraded in the last 200 years imperiling many of the plants and animals that need wetlands to survive. The Ohio EPA has identified Sugar Creek as the second most polluted stream in Ohio. Restoring and enhancing the wetlands and introducing a stream buffer promotes biodiversity as well as clean water.
