Abstract
The waters of West Virginia are essential to the state’s economy. From the water we drink to the rivers where we play to businesses and industries that provide our income, clean water is an essential element for West Virginia’s future economic success. West Virginia’s water resources are also precious to the nation. The headwaters of the Potomac and Ohio Rivers, which eventually reach 9% of the U.S. population, include waters that originate in West Virginia. These resources provide for quality of life, community development and resiliency, and economic opportunity
