Safeguarding Water Resources: New Jersey to Fully Fund the Delaware River Basin Commission for the Fourth Consecutive Year

, ,

(TRENTON, NJ) July 23, 2024 - New Jersey's fiscal year 2025 budget reaffirms its strong support for the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC), as the state honors its full "fair share" commitment of $893,000. 

Advocating for New Jersey’s full contribution to the Delaware River Basin Commission has long been a priority of the Coalition for the Delaware River Watershed, a network of more than 190 non-profit organizations, 43 in New Jersey, working to protect and restore the four-state region of New Jersey, New York, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. The Coalition believes that funding the DRBC at the full amount is critical to protecting water quality, as well as our most vulnerable communities.

By Sara Sayed, DRBC Water Resource Scientist  

The Delaware River Basin is a powerhouse of culture, economy and history. Our Basin is also notable for its large size-to-service ratio, meaning the Delaware River Basin drains only 0.4% of land in the contiguous United States, but approximately four percent of the U.S. population relies on its waters for drinking, agricultural and industrial use.
