Description

ESRD has established the WRRP to promote the long-term ability of watersheds to mitigate the effects of future flood and drought events.

Additionally, the program aims to address impacts of past flooding and/or droughts through the restoration of degraded priority areas of watersheds which will enhance communities' ability to withstand future flooding or droughts.
