The smoking gun that no one wants to talk about. All those places bought during the Covid craze, that waved all inspections. The former 2 season lake cottage, that was used a couple weeks a year by four or less people, is now your fully booked four season rental that "sleeps up to 8"

Lakes all over the watershed saw early blooms of Cyanobacteria this year. Water tables are extremely high this year and septic runoff is the biggest contributing factor.

Yet another large proposal along the Merrimack in NH. We understand that there is a housing crisis. We just don't understand how or why so many of these developments, are within feet of the Merrimack.

A large drainage.

The entire watershed is larger than most folks realize. Draining most of NH including a large part of the lakes region, and a large part of eastern Mass with tributaries like the Concord, Nashua and Shawsheen Rivers. Its reaches, pass through or supplies water to major cities like, Plymouth, Franklin, Concord, Manchester, Nashua, Lowell, Lawrence and Haverhill as well as dozens of towns along the way. Flooding, runoff, pollution, erosion habitats, recreation, public water supply demands. There is allot more going on in your drinking water than you realize. Some of it’s good, much of it needs improvement. We aim to provide a confluence of information regarding recreation, restoration, public health and developments along the drainage. From Ethan Pond to Plumb Island, if you have a story, know of a local project or plight, please share.
