In a land with limited water supplies, increasing urban growth pressures, and high public expectations for natural resource preservation—watershed plans will increasingly become the vehicle to address these issues. Water quality concerns, expressed as Total Maximum Daily Loads may result in compulsory implementation plans at the watershed scale. City and county planning departments are being encouraged to treat water in a comprehensive fashion in their General Plans. Regional management of water supplies appears to be the focus of interest at the state level. If these trends intersect, what will be the shape of future watershed plans, and can engineers, planners and regulators learn to work together?Friday, February 25, 2005
