Watershed Initiative
Watersheds are areas of land where water from rain flows downhill into a waterway, such as a river, stream or lake. Watersheds act like funnels - collecting all the water within an area and channeling it into a  waterway. Unfortunately, pollution from our yards and streets also drain into these waterways creating harmful conditions for humans and wildlife.
Chula Vista contains two main watersheds – Sweetwater and Otay – which both eventually drain into the south San Diego Bay. To help reduce pollution runoff and improve the health of these watersheds, the Department of Conservation & Environmental Services is implementing the following programs:
