This webinar will cover Source Water Protection, Floodplain Reconnection, and Watershed Planning, and as methods for improving and protecting water quality. Source water protection involves a set of actions aimed at preserving the quality or quantity of a water body, such as an aquifer, river, or reservoir. Floodplain Reconnection refers to the use of historic flood regimes to determine how and where to direct riparian restoration efforts. To effectively implement these larger-scale forms of green infrastructure, larger-scale planning is often required. Watershed Planning encompasses managerial practices implemented by stakeholders across an entire watershed to safeguard and enhance water quality within that watershed. This webinar, featuring the work of two experts in New Mexico, will conclude the Green Infrastructure Webinar Series by zooming out for a big-picture look at support of natural systems as essential to long-term water security.
