Watershed Summary

The Paw Paw River Watershed (PPRW) is all of the land that drains into the Paw Paw River. The PPRW is a priority for protection and preservation among southern Michigan watersheds because a relatively high percentage of its natural land cover remains in spite of increasing development pressure throughout the region. The PPRW Management Plan is intended to guide individuals, businesses, organizations and governmental units working cooperatively to ensure the water and natural resources necessary for future growth and prosperity are improved and protected.
