DEP for Watershed Planning: East and West Nishnabotna Watershed Management Plan

The Watershed Management Coalition collaborates to reduce flood risks and enhance water quality in the East and West Nishnabotna River watershed for future generations. Their objectives include forming partnerships among community, county, and regional groups, boosting flood resilience, and increasing public awareness about water management. The Coalition’s board consists of Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) and counties, meeting quarterly and encouraging public involvement. By emphasizing education and collective effort, the group aims to help local communities better prepare for and recover from floods while complying with state water quality standards.
