Land
Use Planning for Water Quality Training
Workshop
Creating land use plans that include water quality consideration
This workshop is currently being developed.
Participants in the
Land Use Planning for Water Quality Training Workshop learn that communities
have two ways that together allow them
to develop land while preserving water resources.
They can integrate best practices into their development rules - the
focus of our Site Planning Roundtable Management Workshop. They can integrate
water quality considerations into their planning process - the focus
of this workshop. Through interactive small groups and hands-on exercises,
they practice water quality planning techniques and learn how other communities
are addressing these issues. They learn how to integrate the results
into their community’s land use plans.
