Working with Partners
An essential part of New York City’s watershed protection program is working with the many stakeholders from the 8-county watershed, the City and external groups. Under the Filtration Avoidance Determination (FAD) and the 1997 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), several organizations and government agencies are directly implementing new programs, funded by the City. These environmental and economic partnership efforts are protecting water quality and assisting watershed communities. Other partners serve in various other capacities, such as providing oversight, advice, and education, and enhancing communication.
