Goals of the legislation include enhancing and improving water quality, creating friendly water quality ecosystems, providing economic incentives for positive environmental practices, and promoting coordinated efforts between private landowners and public interest groups. This program is an aggressive approach to maintaining and improving our quality of life for generations to come.
Clean water is a critical element in addressing our state's vitality.
It's important to protect the attributes of all watersheds, maintaining those that are pristine, and improving those that are impaired. The plan also targets current positive watershed practices and attempts to reward landowners for those efforts. We must preserve and improve our lakes and streams to ensure that clean water is available for this generation and generations to come. Republicans Copyright 1999. All Rights Reserved.
