Headwater Streams

Headwater Streams are the beginnings of rivers, the uppermost streams in the river network furthest from the river’s endpoint or confluence with another stream. Headwater streams trap floodwaters, recharge groundwater supplies, remove pollution, provide fish and wildlife habitat, and sustain the health of downstream rivers, lakes, and bays.
