WHAT IS A "WATERSHED ASSESSMENT?"
 

A watershed assessment is a process for evaluating how well a watershed is working. This process includes steps for identifying issues, examining the history of the watershed, describing its features, and evaluating various resources within the watershed. This kind of assessment required a lot of interaction between people interested in the watershed.

This Action Plan is intended to outline the known ecological priorities of the Coast Fork Willamette River watershed in a hierarchy that can guide the choices of citizen and agency restoration planners. As the reader will discover, three areas of emphasis need the attention of restoration efforts: water quality, aquatic habitat and terrestrial habitat. This watershed is situated at the southern end of the rapidly growing Willamette Valley. As such, it is important that council members are encouraged to take actions that will both remedy existing impairments and prevent future degradation of the existing watershed resource.
