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.
