Arkansas Watershed Advisory Group
History
The Arkansas
Watershed Advisory Group was formed to assist interested
citizens and organizations by promoting local voluntary approaches
to watershed management and conservation. Participating agencies
and citizens have come together to pool their resources to better
address the public's needs concerning our water resources.
Efforts of the
Arkansas Watershed Advisory Group
have been partly funded by a series of Environmental Protection
Agency 104 (b)(3) grants.
Over an eight
month period, a formation committee developed a mission statement,
goals, objectives, action items and a structure for the group. The
first formal meeting of the Arkansas
Watershed Advisory Group was held in May of 2000. Meetings
are open and are scheduled quarterly at the ADEQ facilities in the
Arkansas State Police Building in Little Rock. Meetings include
a question & discussion session for guests and at least one
presentation on watershed projects. The group is currently working
on prioritizing and carrying out action items, which include the
development of a web site; newsletter; a guide to agencies resources
and activities; and an annual watershed conference. All of these
action items will be a source of information on resource agencies
activities, watershed projects and watershed groups in Arkansas.
