What are subwatershed management plans?

Subwatershed management plans provide a framework for communities to collaboratively address various issues related to water quality. For example, these plans include language about construction requirements, land use planning, public education and other relevant topics. Strategic planning done at a local level will have great influence on the future of the Clinton River watershed and Lake St. Clair.
