Narrow River Handbook
Have you ever looked out your window during a heavy rainstorm and wondered where the water goes? Have you ever watched as streams of water run down the street, picking up dirt and litter and maybe some of that oil off the driveway? After a storm, have you ever looked at the river—the Narrow River? Download the Handbook.

Narrrow River Bibliography
Thanks to NRPA and matching funding from the University of Rhode Island’s (URI) Coastal Fellowship Program, finding information about the Narrow River Watershed just got easier! In September 1999, the first phase of a computerized Narrow River Watershed bibliography was completed. Included in the database are local and international documents, as well as works covering scientific, historic and cultural information about Narrow River and its watershed.

River of Words Poetry Contest
The River of Words poetry and poster contest is a national initiative aimed at cultivating an appreciation of local rivers and watersheds. At the same time, this program fosters and celebrates student art and poetry concerned with the environment. The contest grew from a partnership between former Poet Laureate of the United States, Robert Hass, the International Rivers Network, and the Library of Congress, and is supported locally by The Rhode Island Foundation.
