As rainwater and melting snow <br />run downhill, they carry sediment and other materials into streams, lakes, and groundwater. The land use <br />activities within a watershed have a direct impact on the quality of the water. 96% of the land use within <br />VLAWMO is urban with a small area of agricultural land in the northern end. <br />Watersheds provide water for drinking, irrigation, streams, and activities such as fishing, swimming, and <br />boating. In addition, watersheds also provide food and shelter for wildlife. <br />Home I About VLAWMO 1 Planning /Rules i Programs I Proiects 1 Water Standards 1 Education <br />Resources 1 Contact Us <br />Watershed Maps 1 Frequently Asked Questions <br />Vadnais Lakes Area Water Management Organization All rights reserved 2007 -2012 <br />Powered by ICBits <br />http://www.vlawmo.org/aboutus.cfm?ID=71&PID=74&siteID=1 3/27/2012 <br />
