The Cumberland River Compact
The mission of the Cumberland River Compact is to enhance the water quality of the Cumberland River and its tributaries through education and by promoting cooperation among citizens, businesses, and agencies in Kentucky and Tennessee.
The Cumberland River is 697 miles long. The Cumberland River watershed covers 18,000 square miles and is home to almost 2 million people. Since 1997, the Compact has set out to create a Watershed Outreach Program in each of the 14 watersheds that make up the Cumberland Basin.
We welcome your interest and participation in this challenging project. Please join us.
What is a watershed?
A watershed is the land area that drains into a stream. An area of land that contributes runoff to one specific delivery point; large watersheds may be composed of several smaller “subsheds,” each of which contributes runoff to different locations that ultimately combine at a common delivery point.

Order a "Can"dle from the Compact
In their volunteer time, the friends, members and staff of the Cumberland River Compact are proud to create these "can"dles from recycled cans to help promote a healthy environment and healthy river ecosystem. To order your unique luminary, contact brookes@cumberlandrivercompact.org
Using a rain barrel can save you some money, give your plants a water they will like more than tap water, and help to slow storm water runoff. You can also save energy used when the water is processed to drinking standards. Click here...
Cumberland River Compact Working Hand In Hand To Enhance Our Water Quality
Know what the major Cumberland River pollutant is? Well, it is the DIRT and
the other "stuff" from our yards, our roofs and our driveways that runs off
every time we have a good rain.
If we all kept our dirt in our own yards, the river would be a lot healthier
and safer for everyone.

to keep your dirt at home.
