Whether you live along a stream or not, you are affected by stream processes and the decisions that are made to address streams, wetlands and floodplains. Watershed programs were initiated to assist watershed communities with stream and floodplain management, as well as stormwater runoff through projects and programs that restore stream channel stability, reduce erosion, promote awareness and understanding of stream systems, and mitigate stormwater runoff utilizing innovative practices.
Watershed Advisory Committees provide the forum for municipalities, agencies and non-profits to work collaboratively on watershed efforts that benefit both water quality and the watershed communities.
