What does it take to sustainably manage the lands, waters, and ecological health of the Potomac basin?  A lot of work by a lot of organizations.

As part of the implementation of the Potomac Basin Comprehensive Water Resources Plan, ICPRB recently published an overview of the entities that act in support of the plan’s overall vision, either explicitly or implicitly.

The pamphlet, An Inventory of Potomac Basin Entities with a Role in Sustainable Water Resources Management, explores the governmental agencies, water resources related sectors, private and non-profit organizations, academic institutions, and individuals who have a role to play in the sustainable management of the Potomac basin’s water resources. Each entity fills a vital role — from regulatory agencies to scientists to community education and more.

“The information contained in the inventory, and summarized in the pamphlet, can be used by ICPRB and interested individuals to understand who is doing what, if any gaps exist, and how efforts might be leveraged or coordinated to improve efficiency,” states Dr. Heidi Moltz, author of the pamphlet and the director of program operations at ICPRB.
