Watershed Plan

With funding from the Washington State Dept. of Ecology, a community-supported plan was developed to enhance the management of water resources to meet the current and future needs of people and fish. In 1998 the State Legislature passed HB 2514, the Comprehensive Watershed Planning Act . It provided a framework within which municipal, Tribal, agricultural, commercial and other interests could collaborate to develop balanced, local solutions to water issues affecting people and fish. Community members joined together in the WRIA 32 Planning Unit (local advisory group) and its sub-committees to address issues surrounding water quantity and instream flow, water quality, and habitat elements in Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 32 across Walla Walla and Columbia counties. The plan, focused on the Washington portion of the basin, and was approved in June, 2005. The final plan is listed below:
