Description: Join us to explore how collaboration and adaptive strategies can drive long-term watershed success. In this webinar, we'll provide key takeaways and lessons learned from over 15 years of coordinated watershed management under the Black River Initiative. With notable water quality improvements, this effort showcases how sustained partnerships, data-driven strategies, and locally led implementation can deliver measurable results.
This webinar will highlight the value of monitoring nutrients, sediment, and phosphorus loading, and how Nine Element (9E) Watershed Plans helped support these efforts. Attendees will explore how professionals can engage with 9E plans and how these planning tools complement long-term watershed management goals and help sustain local water resources.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand how adaptive management, local leadership, and collaboration contribute to measurable watershed outcomes.
- Gain insight into how 9E plans support both planning and on-the-ground projects to improve water quality.
- Explore how utility staff and local agencies can play a key role in sustaining water resources.
- Managers, owners, operators, and technical assistance providers of drinking water or wastewater systems
- State and local decision-makers, including mayors, state agencies, finance officers, utility managers, public works directors, city councilors, board members, tribal council members, and clerks
- Watershed coordinators and planners, consultants, engineers, and anyone interested in protecting watersheds
