Watershed
Management Organizations
Project
examples
Whether
the watershed you manage is primarily rural or agricultural
or mostly urban, you're probably faced with a variety of issues:
water quality concerns, flooding, limited funding for important
planning efforts, and limited number of staff to perform vital
services.
Since
the 1950s, Barr has been helping watershed management organizations
prepare or update their watershed management plans and implement
special studies and improvement projects. We use our experience
to explore innovative and alternative watershed management
approaches that meet your specific needs.
We
can also provide ongoing engineering services, such as permit
reviews for conformance with plans, rules and regulations,
policies, standards, and criteria; stakeholder participation
programs and agency coordination; and water quality monitoring
and modeling. Our full range of watershed management services
includes:
- Comprehensive

infrastructure
