Root River Watershed Restoration Plan

The restoration plan for the Root River watershed will provide specific, targeted recommendations to address a set of focus issues related to conditions in the watershed. Through the input of the Root River Restoration Planning Group—which includes representatives from county and municipal governments within the watershed, MMSD, the Racine Wastewater Utility, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Sweet Water, Root-Pike WIN, and others representing a broad range of interests within the watershed—four major focus areas emerged for this watershed restoration plan: water quality, recreational use and access, habitat conditions, and flooding.
