Few things are as important to the health of humans and the environment as fresh, pure water. America's lakes, rivers, streams, and coastal waters are also important recreational resources, supporting swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, sailing-or simply lolling the surf on a warm day. And water has a powerful aesthetic pull for most people, making beaches, rocky coasts, and riverbanks favorite places for a long walk or a picnic, not to mention popular subjects for artistic inspiration. The Trust for Public Land's Land&Water initiative is helping to lead the way in the use of land conservation to protect water quality.
