Raritan Headwaters Association, also known as RHA, is an environmental non-profit organization established in 1959 to protect the water and land resources around the Raritan river basin in New Jersey. For over 60 years, RHA has served as the watchdog[1] for the 470-square-mile North and South Branch Raritan watershed, a region covering 38 municipalities in New Jersey's Hunterdon, Somerset and Morris counties. RHA's key activities include stream monitoring,[2] land preservation, advocacy and well-testing, and regularly mobilizes one of the largest voluntary workforces in the country.[3][4] The Raritan river and its numerous tributaries provide water to over 1.5 million residents across the state of New Jersey.
