In addition, community groups and other agencies, including the federal government, provide funding for special projects. Policy and budget decisions are made by a Board comprised of eleven members appointed by our municipal partners. See Chart below.
Water links all components of the environment and is a major force in shaping the landscape.
We operate on a watershed basis because it treats natural systems as an entire unit. Our integrated approach to resource management leads to a wide range of programs and projects, which are aimed at keeping our watersheds healthy. We improve quality of life by actively providing open space and protecting life and property from flooding and erosion, as well as restoring and conserving aquatic and natural habitats. In addition to serving our watershed residents, we also provide advice and counsel to all levels of government on the responsible management of water.
