Clean Water Management

WinLaC Comprehensive 

Watershed Management Plan 

After nearly two years of planning, ten local governments collaboratively developed a watershed management plan for the WinLaC.  The WinLaC is included in four counties of SE Minnesota: Houston Olmsted, Wabasha and Winona. 


WinLaC Partners worked together and developed a plan that prioritizes issues that are important to residents of the WinLaC Planning area and targets practices that are most effective in reaching measurable goals.


The final WinLaC Comprehensive Watershed Management Plan and Appendices for 2023-2033 are provided in the links below:
