Learn More About the Law
One of the best ways to help protect the Catawba-Wateree River is to understand the law applicable to protection of the River, and to help us advocate for better enforcement of the law.
There are a variety of statutes, regulations, ordinances and cases that govern the Catawba- Wateree. Catawba Riverkeeper periodically offers training about the applicable law as part of its Covekeeper, Covewatcher, Stream Watcher and Muddy Water Watch classes. If you are unable to attend these classes, or you want to know more before our next class, you can get more information through the following links:
- River Network online course on the Clean Water Act.
- Watch and listen to the Water Quality Standards 101 webinar. This webinar was recorded on September 29, 2009. It was for a group of River Network Partners in the Intermountain West so the examples will all be western. However, the general information about designated uses, water quality criteria and antidegradation will be useful for river advocates around the country.
- Watch and listen to the Antidegradation 101/201 webinar. This webinar was recorded on October 27, 2009. Like the Water Quality Standards 101 webinar, it was for a group of River Network Partners in the Intermountain West so the examples will all be western. However, the general information will be useful for river advocates around the country.
