Under the idea of One Watershed, One Plan (1W1P), partners across the Rum River watershed have come together to complete a Rum River Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan. A watershed is an area of land that drains all the streams and rainfall to a common outlet. The vision for the 1W1P program is to create a local water plan on a major watershed boundary instead of the traditional county boundaries. Together, all of the partners have created, adopted, and now are implementing a comprehensive plan to include restoration, protection, and preservation of our watershed.
