Introduction to Watershed Planning

Welcome to the Introduction to Watershed Planning module. The goal of this module is to introduce a flexible framework for watershed planning and point out key factors that help make planning successful.

Local planning processes generally address problems or may seek to protect or improve quality of life. Watershed planning is no different. Some watershed planning groups convene to address chronic problems like degrading fisheries, while others seek to address acute problems like contaminated mine drainage or heavy erosion along streambanks. Other planning efforts may bring together citizen groups, local agencies and states to work together on plans for community and environmental improvements. The degree of success achieved in watershed planning often depends on having people that can devote substantial time to the effort.
