Community Vision - Less Flooding, Cleaner Water

Aug 09, 2023

In 2019, the Boone River Watershed Management Authority (WMA) was established, swiftly setting its course of action. Now, it's turning to local citizens of five counties, seeking their wisdom and innovative solutions.

Their primary goals include refining water quality, tackling flooding issues, promoting on-farm preservation, and augmenting recreational and biodiversity hotspots. The WMA believes that the path to real progress is through collective decision-making.

As Dean Kluss, the leading voice of WMA, puts it, the essence of this movement is about ensuring everyone has a say, from common residents to farming professionals. All ideas, whether common ones like using cover crops or more unique ones are appreciated, especially since there's money to put them into action.

TC Loving, who speaks for the Humboldt County Soil and Water group, explained what WMAs do. They help cities, counties, and conservation groups work together, focusing on nature instead of political areas.

Loving notes, "In places like Boone River Watershed, it's evident that nature doesn't operate on man-made borders. That's why our solutions are crafted with nature's blueprints in mind."
