The Williams Water Endowment fund is all about protecting water in the Rideau Valley. Some uses for the Fund include:

• monitoring of water quality and water quantity
• researching how surface water and groundwater interact
• promoting natural shorelines
• educating school children and the public about the vulnerability of water
• researching the local effects of climate change
• demonstrating natural shoreline erosion control
• getting water information into the hands of municipal decision-makers
• developing protection measures for the watershed

Your gift to the Fund will go on working for clean water year after year since only the Fund's interest is taken and used for water protection purposes. The capitol remains in the Fund and, augmented with new gifts, keep on serving the needs of Rideau Valley people for many years to come.
