清洁河流项目通过考虑影响特定地理区域水资源的所有活动和条件，以综合方式审查水问题。德克萨斯州包括许多生态区，这些生态区具有独特的自然特征、人口和土地利用模式，对水质有着独特的影响。使用流域方法，可以在每个流域的自然环境中检查各种污染问题的累积影响。通过与当地合作伙伴合作，该项目受益于对当地问题、条件和目标的了解和理解。清洁河流计划将公众参与纳入有效的流域规划。 区域当局依靠指导委员会的建议来关注规划倡议并确定其优先顺序。这些委员会代表每个流域的不同利益，包括公共、政府、工业、商业、农业和环境利益；它们确保解决当地的问题，并推荐区域解决方案。包括数字。

The Clean Rivers Program examines water issues in an integrated fashion by considering all of the activities and conditions that affect water resources in a particular geographic region. Texas encompasses numerous ecoregions with distinct natural characteristics, population, and land use patterns that uniquely affect water quality. Using a watershed approach, the cumulative impacts from a variety of pollution problems can be examined within the context of each river basin's natural setting. By working with local partners, the program benefits from improved knowledge and understanding of local issues, conditions, and objectives. The Clean Rivers Program builds public participation into effective watershed planning. Regional authorities depend on the counsel of steering committees to focus and prioritize planning initiatives. These committees represent each watershed's diverse interests, including public, governmental, industrial, business, agricultural and environmental interests; and they ensure that local concerns are addressed, and regional solutions are recommended.
