A Quick Guide to developing Watershed Plans to Restore and Protect Our Waters
The handbook for Developing Watershed Plans to Restore and Protect our Waters (the Handbook) to provide users with a comprehensive resource to develop more effective watershed plans as a means to improve and protect the nation’s water quality. The Handbook also provides guidance on how to incorporate the nine minimum elements from the Clean Water Act section 319 Nonpoint Source Program’s funding guidelines into the watershed plan development process. Since the Handbook was issued, EPA and other entities have stepped up watershed plan implementation, introduced new initiatives, developed new tools, and provided additional funding sources.
Over the past 5 years, thousands of copies of the Handbook have been printed. The Handbook has been used by watershed practitioners, incorporated into training courses, and even adopted as part of college curricula. The purpose of this Quick Guide, developed in response to feedback on the length and complexity of the Handbook, is to provide a streamlined, easy-to-read summary of the Handbook. The guide also incorporates key watershed-related topics not included in the Handbook. The Quick Guide is not meant to replace the Handbook, but rather to provide a brief guide to watershed planning and highlight new information that can be used for more effective decision-making leading to improved management of our water resources.
