Volunteer to protect our water quality and minimize flooding! Keep our storm drains free of leaves and litter.
Update: The 2025 Flood Safety Video Contest has closed. The winners will be notified by email in April. Thank you for your patience, and please join us at Flood Safety Fest on April 26!
In this contest, 6th through 12th grade students in Austin and the surrounding area are invited to create a 30-second public service announcement (PSA) sharing the important message: "Turn Around - Don’t Drown®" when you see flooded roads.
Want a beautiful Central Texas garden that is good for your pocketbook and the environment?
Dog and cat waste left on the ground is more than smelly and unsightly….it pollutes our water and poses a health risk for pets and people, especially children! Please remember to always Scoop the Poop and to dispose of pet waste properly!
The City of Austin storm drain marking program is a hands-on project for volunteers who are interested in educating the public about pollution prevention.
Watershed Protection’s Youth Education program provides school outreach, field trips, curriculum and service learning opportunities to encourage informed decision-making about choices that impact Austin’s water quality.
