The West Central Indiana Watershed Alliance (WCIWA) began as is a coalition of interested parties dedicated to promoting and implementing best management practices in the Busseron Creek Watershed while educating the general public about environmental stewardship and has grown to include Turtle Creek, Turman Creek, and Kelley Bayou watersheds as well. The WCIWA is committed to improve the water quality in these watersheds and the regions downstream from them.

Dispose of Expired / Unwanted Meds Properly
In addition to a growing concern over the abuse of prescription drugs, there is a growing problem of Prescription
and Over-the-County Medications entering our Nation's waterways. NEVER flush unwanted meds down the toilet. Instead, take them
to a collection facility for proper disposal.
A permanent collection box has been installed at Milburn Pharmacy - 13 W Jackson Street - Sullivan.

West Central Indiana Watershed Alliance
The WCIWA covers a natural geographic region defined by the drainage basins of Busseron Creek, Turtle Creek, Turman Creek, and Kelley Bayou and their tributaries. Covering over 400 square miles, the watersheds cross the boundaries of Vigo, Clay, Greene and Sullivan counties in West-central Indiana before flowing into the Wabash River. The area is not only home to rich mineral resources, but also rich agricultural lands and over 25,000 acres wildlife areas managed by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, as well as numerous parks, lakes and other recreation areas.
Unfortunately, our human uses have put many of those areas - and water quality - at risk.
The West Central Indiana Watershed Alliance is spearheading efforts to restore and
protect our natural resources.
Everyone who shares an interest in
maintaining and improving the quality of life, water, and ecosytems in the watersheds of West Central Indiana
is invited to become a member of the WCIWA.
