What is Watershed Management?
In a nutshell, watershed management encompasses several things. Among them are the creation and implementation of plans, programs and projects that are geared towards sustaining and preserving the ecosystems that exist within that watershed, such as the wildlife, plant life, and human life within its boundaries. Managing things like water quality, drainage and stormwater runoff are very important aspects of this work.
