The West Virginia portion of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, about 14% of the state’s land mass, includes Berkeley, Grant, Hampshire, Hardy, Jefferson, Mineral, Morgan, Pendleton and small portions of Preston, Tucker, and Monroe counties. More than 12 percent of West Virginia’s population lives in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

The streams born in West Virginia’s mountains flow into major river systems that provide drinking water for much of the Mid-Atlantic. Two main tributaries of the Bay begin in West Virginia: the headwaters of the Potomac and James rivers both begin in the Mountain State.
