Content Development:
The Alleghenies Watershed Network,
a project of PEC, was established in 1996 to serve as a forum for education about
watershed issues; and to act as a networking hub among watershed groups, government
agencies, businesses, and educational institutions in the Allegheny River watershed.
In 1999, the Network expanded its coverage to include the Monongahela River watershed.
Now, as the Alleghenies Watershed Network, it focuses on watershed activities
west of the Allegheny Mountains. AWN's publications and conferences have been
successful in focusing public attention on water quality and sustainable uses
in the Allegheny River.
