Capacity building means establishing resources needed to fulfill
a mission or achieve a goal. EPA recognizes that watershed groups
and local governments need a range of tools to effectively manage
their local land and water resources. Watershed groups and local
governments need technical tools for scientific support, engineering
support, information technology, assistance with legal issues, project
management, outreach, and planning support. They also need legal
authority for activities such as permitting, enforcement, contracting,
fund raising, and resource management. The most effective organizations
are built upon a strong foundation of adequate resources, technical
tools, and legal authority.
This web site is designed to assist groups in developing knowledge
by providing a compendium of web-based and printed resources and
tools.
