Projects

IRWM projects are those that are integrated in nature or that provide a wide range of benefits when implemented with other projects. IRWM projects should meet one or more of the objectives included in the IRWM Plan, which are designed to achieve the water management goals of the region and address priority water management issues. Projects that are included in the IRWM Plan are eligible for IRWM funding.
