The Regional Storm Water Collaborative is composed of storm water districts, municipalities, and soil and water conservation districts in Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky. Our purpose is to raise awareness about water quality issues in the Ohio River Valley. Together, we can keep our waterways clean and healthy.
