About the UMWP
The Upper Maumee Watershed Partnership is a locally-led group of concerned citizens and organizations whose primary goal is the improvement of water quality throughout the Upper Maumee River Watershed and ultimately throughout the Western Lake Erie Basin.
As we continue to expand our membership and activities, our focus is the implementation of a watershed management plan and best management practices. Additionally, events and other public outreach programs are held to further communities’ awareness of water quality.
