The Coalition has developed a comprehensive, scientifically-based management plan. Through this management plan the Coalition recommends management strategies that can assist local and state government agencies, water utilities and landowners with managing allocation and preventing pollution of the finite water resources in the watershed.

This management plan is a living document. As more research results and other local and regulatory water issues arise, the Coalition will continue to monitor and update as illustrated in the flow chart below.

This living management plan is the first of its kind in New England and has been designated by the CT Water Planning Council as a model for Connecticut's water resource user community. (State of Connecticut Water Planning Council annual report to the general assembly and work plan for 2004. January 26, 2004)
