WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT? The Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan (CWMP) examines the problems, opportunities, objectives and constraints across the Red River of the North basin and provides a plan for addressing those challenges. The CWMP focuses on the unique, overlapping, and competing issues of flood risk management, ecosystem health, water quality, water supply, recreation and soil health.
