This year, PRWC has served as a technical resource and key leader in a number of water resource planning efforts on both the state and local level.
These efforts include the development of Connecticut’s first ever State Water Plan, an update/upgrade to the Pomperaug Watershed Based Plan to address factors potentially contributing to streams with known impairments; and facilitating discussions between municipal and utility representatives to establish drought and water conservation triggers to alleviate in-stream habitat stressors during times of low streamflow.
Essential to each of these efforts has been PRWC’s collection of scientific data and our ability to apply our research in partnership with stakeholders.
