Watershed Master Planning

Watershed Management Master Planning

Watershed planning is an important way to help protect people and property against flooding, erosion, and stormwater quality problems caused by watersheds. These plans contain a strategy and work plan that includes the following information and solutions for the watershed management issues:

  • Identifying remedial stormwater quality and flood risk management projects for construction.
  • Guiding new land development projects on regional drainage and flood control needs.
  • Supplying valuable input to watershed maps and the MHFD 5-Year Capital Improvement Program.
  • Providing help with the identification and acquisition of rights-of-way for future capital improvements and areas for preservation.
