Watershed Information

The Woodhaven-Brownstown School District is a participating member of the Alliance of Downriver Watersheds. The function of the Alliance is to coordinate and facilitate the study, development, preparation, and timely filing of Watershed Management Plans and the management of the area’s water recourses. The major watercourses within the ADW that drain to the Detroit River and Lake Erie include the Ecorse Creek, Sexton Kilfoil Drain, Frank and Poet Drain, Blakely Drain, Brownstown Creek, Huron River, Silver Creek and Woods Creek.  The District as well as the other agencies that make up the ADW meet on a regular basis and work together to cooperatively manage the rivers, lakes and streams within the watershed. Examples of efforts include long-term water quality monitoring, stormwater permit compliance and reporting to the State, submittal of grant applications for water quality improvements, and public education.
