2013 IRWM PLAN UPDATE: WORKSHOPS
Several public workshops were held to solicit input on the IRWM Plan Update.
Joint RAC Meetings and Public Workshops
Several of the RAC meetings held during the 2013 IRWM Plan Update process were also public workshops. More information on these meetings can be found here. These joint RAC/Public workshop meetings were held on the following dates:
Tribal and DAC Outreach
Targeted outreach to both Tribes and Disadvantaged Communities (DACs) was conducted in the Summer and Fall of 2012, and again in the Spring and Summer of 2013. These outreach efforts aimed to inform Tribes and DACs about the IRWM Program and the funding opportunities participation in the IRWM effort provides, as well as solicit information to help better characterize the issues and needs of these communities. More information on these outreach efforts can be found here.
Watershed Workshops
Several watershed workshops were held to solicit information about each watershed for the IRWM Plan Update. The 2013 Watershed Workshops presented an opportunity to provide feedback on the draft watershed characterizations, which were developed following the 2012 Watershed Workshops. Discussion topics for the 2012 Watershed Workshops included characterization of the water resources within each watershed, identification of key water management issues and needs, and brainstorming of project concepts to address key issues.
