Watershed Planning

NRCS watershed activities in Alaska are voluntary efforts requested through conservation districts and units of government and/or tribes.  The watershed activities are lead locally by a "watershed management committee" that is comprised of local interest groups, local units of government, local tribal representatives and any organization that has a vested interest in the watershed planning activity.  This committee provides direction to the process as well as provides the decision-making necessary to implement the process.  Technical assistance is provided to the watershed management committee through a "technical advisory committee" comprised of local, state and federal technical specialist.  These specialists provide information to the watershed management committee as needed to make sound decisions.  NRCS also provides training on watershed planning organization and process.
