Integrated Regional Water Management Grant Programs
Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) is a collaborative effort to manage all aspects of water resources in a region. IRWM crosses jurisdictional, watershed, and political boundaries; involves multiple agencies, stakeholders, individuals, and groups; and attempts to address the issues and differing perspectives of all the entities involved through mutually beneficial solutions.
Our IRWM grant programs fund:
- Planning
- Implementation
- Disadvantaged community involvement
