Integrated watershed management planning is an ongoing process of identifying issues in a watershed, engaging with community members, stakeholders, and experts to determine shared goals, targets, and solutions, and then working together to implement desired changes.

The Planning process
Developing an Integrated Watershed Management Plan (IWMP) is a complex challenge involving different watershed issues, multiple groups and sectors, and changing social, ecological, and economic conditions. Since beginning in 2010, the IWMP process has been highly collaborative and iterative, with each step of the way helping to lay the groundwork for the next.
As a living document, the IWMP will expand and evolve after Phase One to address a broader range of watershed health issues.
