    Over three million people in northern New Jersey use the surface and ground water of the Passaic River Basin

    for drinking water. If you live in or near the 935 square miles of the Passaic River Basin, YOU are one of them!

Water of the Passaic River Basin, however, has to deal with many challenges. The main two are:

Diminishing drinking water resources due to ongoing development and high demand for water (in the Highlands portion of the watershed, which is the biggest water resource for the Basin, there is deficit about 46 millions gallons of water per day).

Dirtiness of water due to old pollution caused by industrialism that was not fully taken out and today pollution caused by widespread residential use.

          What happens if we do not deal with these challenges?

	We will have less drinking water (especially groundwater), and people who depend on their wells will have no water and will be forced to move out
	There will be higher cost of living for people who stay in water depleting watershed
	Loss of business
	Loss of further development
	Loss of population
	Loss of jobs
	Loss of tourism
	Loss of real estate value

-                         Water is the scarcest resource!...and should not be wasted!
