Project Overview

A Watershed Management Plan for the Lower James River watersheds including the James River arm of Table Rock Lake aims to outline goals and actions to achieve goals that protect and improve water quality in the Lower James River and Table Rock Lake (the focus area of this particular project). This is done by identifying pollutant sources, identifying better management practices to be implemented, setting reachable goals and developing a timeline for implementation.

Development of a watershed management plan will increase the success of future projects,  determine where efforts and funding should be focused, assist water quality organizations and municipalities in water quality protection efforts, and provide insight for creation of more efficient education and future funding.

The watershed management planning process includes stakeholders or citizens from all walks of life that live and/or work in the local area.  Meetings are held to address water quality problems and list possible solutions to those problems that are not only practical, but also realistic to community settings and expectations. The discussion at these citizen meetings as well as water quality data and information is then drafted into a management plan for the watershed that will help guide future projects. The watershed management planning process is therefore a community driven planning process on how to best protect water quality in our area for all to enjoy.
