Integrated watershed management is the process of managing human activities and natural resources on a watershed basis​, taking into account social, economic and environmental issues, as well as local community​ interests and issues such as the impacts of growth and climate change.
 
NVCA is in the process of updating the Integrated Watershed Management Plan (IWMP) for the Nottawasaga River watershed.

This plan outlines our region's approach to integrated watershed management for the next 20-25 years.

It will be used as a guiding document by NVCA, municipalities, and other agencies and groups.

As we develop the plan, we welcome your thoughts and insights on:
  • what you value about our watershed
  • what you see as the issues that are affecting our watershed, both good and bad
  • what actions or strategies we might consider as part of the plan
  • any other considerations you may have
Comments received before January 31, 2019, will be considered as we prepare the draft plan. Comments received after that date will be considered for future updates to the plan.
 
If you have any questions about the IWMP process, or to see the progress to date, visit NVCA's website or contact us at admin@nvca.on.ca.
