These complex relationships present considerable challenges to water resource protection programs. The State and Regional Boards are responding to these challenges within the context of our organization’s Watershed Management Initiative (WMI). The WMI is designed to integrate various surface and ground water regulatory programs while promoting cooperative, collaborative efforts within a watershed. It is also designed to focus limited resources on key issues and use sound science.
