One Watershed, One Plan (1W1P) is rooted in work initiated by the Local Government Water Roundtable (Association of Minnesota Counties, Minnesota Association of Watershed Districts, and Minnesota Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts).
In 2013, the Roundtable recommended that the local governments organize to develop focused implementation plans based on watershed boundaries. In 2016, the Roundtable developed policy recommendations for funding plan implementation.
The Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) 1W1P program brings together Minnesota’s water authorities: SWCDs, counties, watershed districts, and cities to collaborate for the improvement of water quality and quantity through projects.
