Effective Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Through Collaborative Education and Outreach Efforts
Public education may be the most challenging aspect of reducing nonpoint source pollution. It is difficult to track and document the results, and there are no mathematical formulas that can calculate human behavior. Yet, in order to create meaningful water quality improvements in local watersheds and the ocean, both area residents and businesses must make fundamental changes in their practices. Nonpoint source pollution prevention must become seamlessly integrated into the day-to-day activities of business, government and individuals in the same way as water efficiency and recycling practices. To foster these changes, collaboration among governments and communities must occur at many levels. In Santa Barbara County, the County's Project Clean Water has formed successful partnerships with other local agencies and community organizations to create effective water quality education programs, in order to ultimately effect behavior change.
