Answer:
TRUE
Water is a precious national
resource. Often, human
activities degrade the quality of
the water in the streams, lakes,
estuaries, wetlands and aquifers
on which we depend. Pollutants
from agricultural and urban
sources have made many of our
waters unsuitable for swimming
and fishing. Excessive sedimentation, pesticides and fertilizers
are harming fish and other aquatic life. Changes in land use also
have had a dramatic effect on
floodwater damage and frequency.
Both surface and subsurface
drinking water supplies are being
impacted by human activities.
Water quality is the end result
of the individual actions of all the
“neighbors” in a watershed.
Rural landowners and community
residents need to look beyond
their own boundaries to improve
water quality and coordinate water
resource management.
Working Trees can help alleviate
water quality and quantity
problems. From upland areas
down to the water’s edge, Working
Trees reduce and slow runoff and
trap pollutants in both rural and
urban settings.
Working Trees means putting
the right trees in the right places
and in the correct design to do
specific jobs. Land managers,
community planners and watershed residents can all use Working
Trees to make high-quality water
a reality.

Quality are part of the solution.
