Watershed Management Resources

Indiana Watershed Planning Guide

Manual available in hardcopy. See our contact information to have a copy mailed to you.

The Indiana Watershed Planning Guide was developed by the Watershed Management Section, with the participation of the US Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, the US Environmental Protection Agency, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the Indiana Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts, and Purdue University, as a reference guide for local watershed groups to assist them in writing a Watershed Management Plan that meets the checklist. Recently, updates have been made to the checklist and guidance available through the links above. Please include the updates when working on your plan.
