OREGON'S FIRST INTEGRATED WATER RESOURCES STRATEGY

摘要

With leadership, support, and direction from the Oregon Legislature and the Water Resources Commission, Oregon's natural resource agencies set out in 2009 to develop a statewide Integrated Water Resources Strategy. The Oregon Water Resources Department, the agency responsible for water quantity in the state, took the lead to develop the Strategy. The Department worked closely with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality and the Department of Fish and Wildlife to ensure that water quality needs and ecological needs were directly addressed as well. The Oregon Department of Agriculture, which oversees the safety and promotion of the state's agricultural sector, also played a key role in the development of Oregon's Integrated Water Resources Strategy.
