Water Resources

Water Quality & Conservation

Water resources are a high priority due to the availability of water, or lack thereof, and the impact on water right holders, agriculture, instream flows, and domestic use. The district connects with stakeholders to address the demands for limited water and aid in the improvement of efficient systems.

Programs and Services

​Our conservation planners can assist with planning, implementation, and funding for projects that improve water quality such as:

  • Water monitoring

  • Livestock exclusion

  • Riparian plantings

  • Wetland restoration

  • Native plant selection 

  • Erosion control & flooding concerns
