Every day, more than 12 million people wake up in the Lake Erie Watershed.

For some, the lake is nothing more than a backdrop to their everyday life in the form of a 9,940 mile desktop wallpaper. For others, it’s the backbone of their day, whether it’s the fisherman who uses the lake’s bounty to make a living, the MetroParks employee who keeps the area around the lake clean or the mom of five from Avon who takes her daily walk around Rocky River Park. 🌊

That lake — the smallest of the five Great Lakes — might be the thing that determines the future of the country.

With the world fluctuating daily due to climate change, area leaders are working to make Lake Erie the cleanest and safest it can be while also working to help the lake reach its full infrastructure potential. 🚰

“We have an unparalleled water economy in front of us,” says Cuyahoga County Executive Chris Ronayne. “We just need to make sure we utilize the water as a pillar of our economic future.”
