| Abstract |
Water, both above and below ground, is Louisiana's most abundant resource. Almost half of the state's major agencies are involved in projects that protect or control Louisiana's water resources. Public Works and Water Resources Division (PW&WR) is required by law to provide engineering and technical assistance services to local and state entities to guide the orderly development of ground and surface water resources. This division is also given statewide responsibility to provide for the effective administration and implementation of public works for flood control, dam safety, water management programs and projects related to controlling, developing, conserving and protecting Louisiana's vast water resources, both ground and surface water, to meet the current and future needs of the citizens of the state. In doing this, PW&WR has been directed by the Legislature to develop a plan to ensure that the water resources related efforts of all local, state and federal agencies are compatible and are each an effective piece of the overall plan. This website is arranged as hierarchically nested webpages. The website includes a division directory. |
