Watershed Planning Division of Water
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.
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.
The watershed planning process is a flexible framework that allows communities to address problems and improve water quality in their region. The EPA's Watershed Planning Module was developed to introduce the process and point out key factors that help make planning successful. This resources is for you if: you are (or would like to be) part of a local watershed planning process; you would like to protect or improve the quality of life in your area; you have questions about regulations, funding, or where to find help.
