The Our Missouri Waters Initiative is an effort to move Missouri towards watershed-based management – making decisions while looking at an entire watershed, and not just parts of it. The initiative is also going to bring the diverse parts of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources together to maximize resources and approaches.
The three pilot watersheds were selected to demonstrate and evaluate the feasibility of water resource management on a targeted basis. The pilots will help the department develop the necessary infrastructure, policies and procedures to implement this approach across all 66 of the state’s HUC-8 level watersheds.
