The Village of Brewster, New York as a Model Community in the New York City Watershed
Publication: Managing Watersheds for Human and Natural Impacts: Engineering, Ecological, and Economic Challenges
Abstract
The New York City Watershed is one of the most regulated water systems in the nation. The supply comes from a network of 19 reservoirs in a 1,969 square-mile watershed that extends 125 miles north and west of the City; it is the largest unfiltered drinking water supply in the nation. The Croton system, the City's first upstate supply, provides about 10 percent of the daily consumption from 12 reservoirs and three controlled lakes in Putnam and Westchester Counties. The other 90 percent comes from six reservoirs in the Catskill/Delaware system. The Village of Brewster (hereafter, VOB) is located within the Croton system in Putnam County, New York.
