Not all water pollution comes from one easily identified source.

Rainfall and runoff carry bacteria, nutrients, pesticides and other pollutants from the surrounding landscape into creeks, rivers and lakes. This is known as nonpoint source pollution.

The 2026 Texas Integrated Report on Surface Water Quality identified 1,402 surface water quality impairments across Texas. Roughly 44% of those impairments are caused by excess bacteria, and 81% of assessed Texas reservoirs show signs of excess nutrient pollution from runoff.

Understanding how pollution moves is an important step toward preventing it, and the Texas Watershed Steward program is here to help Texans do just that.
