I. Watershed Management Plans:
A Watershed Management Plan outlines goals and actions to protect and improve water quality in a certain focus area. This is done by identifying pollutant sources, identifying better management practices to be implemented on the land (watershed), setting reachable goals and developing a timeline for implementation of projects to reach those goals. Read more on watershed management plans from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
Table Rock Lake Watershed Management Plans
We are currently developing a Watershed Management Plan for Table Rock Lake which includes local public participation, water quality data, land use changes and recommended policies and projects to help protect Table Rock Lake from water quality degradation due to development of the watershed. A presentation on this is included in our Water Quality Summit on June 17th.
Lake Taneycomo Watershed Management Plan
The Lake Taneycomo WMP meetings are underway. The first stakeholder meeting was a success with many topics discussed. The second stakeholder meeting gained ground on pinpointing specific issues for the Lake Taneycomo watershed. These groups will discuss real and perceived threats to the water quality in the lake as well as propose policy and education solutions aimed at protecting water quality. If you are interested in lending a bit of your time and voice toward protection of the water resources in Lake Taneycomo area (Forsyth, Branson, Hollister, Rockaway Beach, Walnut Shade, Saddlebrooke etc.) please contact Tammy at tammyyelden@trlwq.org.
