What is a subwatershed plan?

A subwatershed plan analyses the current state of water and land resources and recommends actions for how these resources can be protected and enhanced while taking into account existing and changing land uses.

Subwatershed plans allow water-related environmental objectives to be effectively incorporated into land use planning documents, providing a road map to guide actions that will address issues identified in this area.
