Executive Summary
New Hampshire’s
waterways play an important role in the state’s identity and are known
for their natural beauty, exceptional water quality, and ample
recreational opportunities. Unfortunately, the future of New
Hampshire’s treasured lakes, rivers, and bays is uncertain. Through
case studies of five of New Hampshire’s most treasured waterways – the
Great Bay Estuary, Lake Sunapee, the Connecticut River, Lake
Winnipesaukee, and the Merrimack River – this report analyzes how
rampant growth, pollution, and water withdrawals threaten to destroy
the renowned beauty and health of the state’s waterways. In
order to adequately protect New Hampshire’s waters from these threats,
this report recommends the implementation of policies and programs in
New Hampshire that will: - Promote responsible growth
- Ensure sustainable water use
- Stop new pollution and clean up existing pollution
