The following press release is from the Greater Elkhart County Stormwater Partnership.
The Greater Elkhart County Stormwater Partnership is again distributing a free, two-year calendar entitled “Elkhart County Water Resources 2020-2021 Calendar.” This calendar uses pictures donated by local photographers, combined with information boxes, to increase awareness of our rivers, streams, lakes, and wetlands, and how to protect them.
Information in the calendar includes:
- The answer to the question: What is a watershed?

- The importance of different erosion and sediment control practices on construction sites.
