Developing a Watershed Plan

A watershed plan is a strategy and a work plan for achieving water resource goals that provides assessment and management information for a geographically defined watershed. It includes the analyses, actions, participants, and resources related to development and implementation of the plan. Watershed planning areas have access to funding to address pollution issues identified in the area. To learn more about watershed health and developing a watershed plan, contact your River Basin Coordinator or visit the links below.

Basin Coordination

The 7 major river basins are each staffed by a Basin Coordinator who serves as a facilitator and point of contact for local organizations addressing clean water issues.
