  • 0 Survey of Investment in the Delaware River Watershed Draft January 2016 Prepared For: William Penn Foundation Philadelphia, Pe
    Survey of Investment in the Delaware River Watershed Draft January 2016 Prepared for: William Penn Foundation Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Prepared by: University of Delaware Water Resources Center Newark, Delaware 0 Survey of Investment in the Delaware River Watershed Background In April 2014 the William Penn Foundation announced a $35 million multi-year initiative to protect and restore the Delaware River watershed (Figure 1), the source of drinking water for over 15 million people in Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania including the first (New York City) and seventh largest (Philadelphia) metropolitan economies in the United States. This substantial level of private funding is designed to complement and accentuate existing watershed protection and restoration investments by Federal, state, local, nonprofit, and private organizations. The Wiliam Penn Foundation is focusing investment in the Kirkwood-Cohansey (NJ), New Jersey Highlands (NJ), Brandywine Christina (DE-PA), Upstream Suburban Philadelphia (PA), Upper Lehigh (PA), Middle Schuylkill (PA), Schuylkill Highlands (PA), and Poconos Kittatinny (PA) watershed clusters. By Federal/state compact, the Delaware River Basin Commission formally links the water resources interests of 8.2 million people governed and represented by 14 federal agencies, four states, 38 counties, 838 municipalities, and numerous nonprofit organizations in the basin (Figure 2). The University of Delaware estimated that water resources appropriations scaled to the Delaware Basin totaled $740 million in FY12 with $8 million from interstate sources (1%), $285 million in Federal funds (38%), $264 million from the states (36%), and $183 million (25%) from New York City and Philadelphia. Little is known, however, about the current and cumulative level of investment in “on-the ground” watershed protection and restoration measures by these public, private, and non-profit sources in states, counties, and watersheds throughout the Delaware Basin.
