Middle Great Miami Watershed Alliance

The Middle Great Miami Watershed Alliance developed from a request by a number of parties to work on water quality issues in the central and northeast portions of Miami County. In 2002 there were a number of preliminary meetings to discuss water quality, geography, problems and partnerships within the county.

The Middle Great Miami Watershed takes in portions of the Great Miami River and tributaries on both the east and west sides of the river from downstream of Plum Creek to upstream of Honey Creek. The watershed includes the drainage areas of Lost, Spring, Peters, Tawawa, Leatherwood and Mosquito Creeks and includes areas in Miami, Shelby and Champaign counties. The watershed also includes the cities of Piqua, Troy and parts of Tipp City. Locally those cooperating with the group include the Miami County Farm Bureau, the Miami County SWCD, OSU Extension and a long list of residents and land owners.
