Watershed Resource Mapping Program

Richmond Regional Watershed Platform

The interconnectedness of the Richmond region is evident in its watersheds. Although watersheds play an important role in the region, many do not know what they are, what they do, or their impact on water quality. Through a grant from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), PlanRVA has created a watershed resource platform to increase regional awareness. This interactive map offers relevant information and available resources to ensure that all residents understand the function and purpose of a watershed.
