The Christina Basin Clean Water Partnership (CBCWP) has been serving watershed resource restoration efforts since 1993.  The partnership has evolved and grown under a variety of names, first as the Christina Basin Nonpoint Source Pollution Committee, then later as the Christina Basin Water Quality Management Committee.  Today the CBCWP holds quartley Christina Basin Task Force meetings, organizes an annual bus tour of restoration accomplishments and actively exchanges information through the Christina-basin email list serv.

The mission of the Christina Basin Clean Water Partnership is to restore the waters of the Brandywine, Red Clay, and White Clay Creeks, and Christina River in Delaware and Pennsylvania to fishable, swimmable, and potable status by 2015.  To do this, they:

1. Employ a full-time watershed-governance structure.
2. Raise funds for restoration through innovative watershed financing.
3. Develop a water-quality trading bank.
