What is a watershed study?

A watershed study is intended to be a comprehensive analysis of a watershed that establishes existing conditions and identifies an array of problems and opportunities in the form of a watershed management plan. A watershed study is not intended to develop or analyze alternatives for subsequent implementation (e.g., construction projects). The primary goal of a watershed study is to develop the study from a regional perspective in which all participating governments benefit by “spinning off” projects under other authorities to address flood control, erosion, sedimentation and environmental restoration problems.
