Welcome to the Mississippi–Rideau Source Protection Region web site! This site contains valuable information on source water protection and the Clean Water Act, as well as the most reliable and up-to-date information on local source water protection initiatives and progress.  

The Government of Ontario is funding Conservation Authorities to coordinate source water protection at the local level. Mississippi Valley Conservation and the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority are working together as the Mississippi-Rideau Source Protection Region to deliver source water protection jointly in their watersheds.
