What is the Forest to Faucet Program? Forest to Faucet is an educational program designed to help kids make the connection between forests and our freshwater resources, ensuring that the clean water we need to survive flows from our taps. The growing demand for clean drinking water, arable land and living space is placing unprecedented stress on our natural resources, including the fresh water we need to survive. Human actions have a huge impact on water quality and quantity, yet most people have little understanding of where their water comes from or how their actions affect water.
This lack of awareness is a big problem when scientists are predicting that by 2025 more than two-thirds of the world’s population could face water shortages. About GEHWA. N the 1960s, our country began to realize that our rivers were being dammed, dredged, diked, diverted and degraded at an alarming rate.
To lend balance for the protection of some of this nation's premier rivers, Congress passed the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act in 1968, and the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System was then created. . . . the time has also come to identify and preserve free-flowing stretches of our great rivers before growth and development make the beauty of the unspoiled waterway a memory. President Lyndon Johnson's Message on Natural Beauty t first it was thought that designation as a wild and scenic river would require federal ownership of the rivers and the rivers' environs to insure adequate long term preservation.
Many rivers in wilderness locations and national parks were qualified and designated into the system with direct management by the Department of the Interior. The Great Energy Challenge.
