Watershed Assessment & Planning
The health of our streams and rivers, including water quality,
water quantity, and the fish and wildlife that depend on these
habitats, is important to the quality of life of citizens and is
also part of today's regulatory framework. The sources and
causes of impacts to stream and river health must be determined in
order to restore and protect these resources. Watershed
assessments are integral tools used in conjunction with best
management practices to meet regulatory Total Maximum Daily Load
(TMDL) requirements and to develop comprehensive plans, greenspace
plans, water resource plans, and stormwater and wastewater
management plans.
JMT's scientists, engineers, and planners have developed
watershed assessments, watershed management plans, and used
watershed restoration modeling to assist private sector, government
agency, and non-profit sector clients in developing strategies and
programs to achieve their particular goals. Our watershed
