This component of the National Integrated Water Quality Program
seeks to provide a common base of knowledge in support of individuals
and
communities
grappling to formulate public policy and management strategies
that will allow growth and increased profitability while protecting
water
resources.
National Water Resources Projects develop and initiate nationally
coordinated programs that increase public
understanding and involvement in community decision-making and facilitate the development of public policy on water resources issues
(e.g., decisions about land use, land management practices, waste
water management alternatives for areas without sewers, storm water
controls, and the protection and restoration of riparian zones).
These projects result in more citizen involvement, wider dispersal of
information, and more rational analysis of environmental decisions
in the community and the nation.
