Please join us for the

Weir River Annual Meeting - Thursday November 10, 2011

Weir River Estuary Center 7 p.m.

Special guest speaker will be Julia Blatt of the Massachusetts Rivers Alliance. 

Read a recently published article by the WRWA on the issues of water withdrawal impacts on the Weir River.

Ms. Blatt will speak on the state's proposed policy to balance water withdrawals with keeping rivers flowing.  The state, river advocates and water suppliers have been negotiating for over a year to come to agreement on how to balance the needs of water for people and wildlife. The state intends to issue their policy in the coming weeks. Ms. Blatt has been at the forefront of these negotiations speaking on behalf of rivers and those who care about them.  The Weir River Watershed Association petitioned the state to list the Weir River as a "stressed basin" due to the overallocation of water resources in this river system. Data taken by our volunteers and from scientists show that the Weir River is impacted by withdrawing more water than it can sustain.  Please join us for what is sure to be an education on this issue for all.  This events is free and open to the public.

We created this website to raise awareness about our shared river - the Weir River and its watershed. The environmental challenges it faces and what we can do to become better stewards of it.
