Installations and Watersheds: An Examination of Changes in Water Management on Army Installations

Abstract

On February 19, 1998 the 25th anniversary of the Clean Water Act the federal government launched the Clean Water Action Plan (CWAP) (http://www.cleanwater.gov/; http://www.epa.gov/owow/). The CWAP emphasizes the need to address polluted run-off, enhance natural resource stewardship, and protect public health by regulating waters that are sources of drinking water, and recommends using an integrated watershed-by-watershed approach to water resource management. The CWAP also emphasizes social aspects of water management, encouraging public participation, development of multi-agency and public-private partnerships, and improvement of information sources, endorsing the citizen s right to know regarding management planning issues.
