The purpose of the Ohio Watershed Network is to improve and protect Ohio's water resources through the creation of a statewide information and education network in support of local watershed protection efforts. The web site resources include a virtual watershed tour of Ohio, a glossary of watershed related terms, and descriptions of relevant curriculum materials, videos, and software. The site also includes a water resources information guide to materials developed by The Ohio State University, Sea Grant, Midwest Plan Service, North Central Regional, and Northeast Regional Agricultural Engineering Service.

Students that are in Environmental Management or Natural Resource careers, particularly those planning on a career in the areas of fishery, soil and water conservation, wildlife management or forestry for a state or national department of natural resources will find this site helpful in learning about Ohio's watersheds. Information for those students planning to work for or establish a watershed conservancy group is also provided.
