Missouri
Watershed Management Assistance (MoWMA)
Goal is to provide communities
with resources relating to sound watershed management practices.
Communities will explore their watershed resources to determine
quality and quantity as it relates to their specific needs.
The primary focus of MoWMA is to assist communities in their
efforts to conserve, improve and protect ground and surface
water through comprehensive watershed management, thus sustaining
a good quality of life.

Watershed
Management Above Drinking Water Reservoirs
This manual was developed to
help residents, municipalities and agricultural producers
understand their roles and responsibilities within a watershed
above a drinking water reservoir. Public water suppliers need
to be aware of their legal responsibilities to guarantee safe
water. Maximum contamination levels (MCLs) are set by federal
regulations, and strict testing procedures must be followed
to ensure safe drinking water for the public.

Missouri River Communities Network
Website
The Missouri River Communities
Network is a 501(c)(3) non-profit membership organization
whose mission is to enhance stewardship of the Missouri River.
The organization started after the 1993 flood on the river
when many people realized the need for average citizens to
become educated about the river and more involved in helping
to make decisions about how it is managed. In 1998 MRCN started
the Manitou Bluffs Project that focuses our efforts on the
Missouri River Corridor between Rocheport and Jefferson City,
Missouri. The goal of the project is to create a broad based
Public-Private Partnership (PPP) that will include local land
owners, farmers, environmentalists, hunters and fishermen,
city and town representatives, business owners, resource representatives
from state and federal agencies, and other interested citizens.
