Lake Granbury Watershed Protection Plan
Lake Granbury Watershed Protection Plan
Purpose:
Watershed Protection Plans (WPP) are useful to water quality planning because they contain management measures to reduce pollutants and public education and outreach programs that were developed with stakeholder input. These measures and outreach programs may be useful ideas to others.
Description:
The coves and canals of Lake Granbury exhibit elevated bacteria concentrations related to nonpoint source (NPS) water pollution from the surrounding watershed. These nonpoint bacteria sources can be controlled through an integrated program of education and voluntary compliance with best management practices (BMP). The Lake Granbury WPP was developed to identify the issues facing the watershed and offer solutions and direction to decision-makers and to the Lake Granbury community for the future.
