Start a local conversation about drinking water protection.
Local officials want clean and plentiful drinking water for their communities. But because watersheds often cross multiple political boundaries, community leaders may not know what they can or should do to protect their water sources. This guide contains quick tips for concrete steps local officials can take to protect source water.
To highlight local water protection options that are both clear and obtainable, the national Source Water Collaborative has created Your Water. Your Decision.
Create a customized
Your Water. Your Decision.
guide for your
local policymakers.
With our easy online tool, it takes just a few minutes to make a custom guide that can:

I would suggest it as a good tool for individuals/groups to use when making some initial contact with municipal officials — specially when there is a specific issue to focus on. The good thing about it is that it can seem like specific local priorities are of high importance to organizations presenting the info.
This tool is great for local watershed groups, land trusts, and smaller organizations without resources for creating specific local guides
The ability to upload logos and other local information is great!
This tool can save time and effort, especially in situations where only a few number of brochures need to be printed for a very specific meeting. It is difficult to justify "starting from scratch" to create materials like this when the units needed are very small.
Appreciate the ability to customize with specific cover image and local, relevant websites. The speed in which a custom brochure can be created is a nice feature.
It has a nice appearance and was easy to print off.
It's a great way to create a professional looking document without the cost or needing the expertise to develop it. Also, it is great to have it be a part of a larger website where other communities needs can be viewed.
The guide provides accurate data for decision makers and can be customized for the individual system.
This tool creates an effective, community-specific handout relevant to much of our work.
It is an easy to use tool that allows you to quickly produce SWP outreach materials for your community.
