Case Studies

Much of this Guide contains text-book descriptions of different planning techniques or legislation.  But in the end you need to know how it all fits together.  This part of the Guide lets you see how different tools might be used together to try to protect a watershed. 

Our Case Studies are stories about watershed management problems that come up every day.  Although the specifics of each case study is fictional, the Case Studies tell how a community group faced with a particular type of problem might analyze the situation, develop a strategy and use the available tools to try to protect their watershed.  By reading about how one group might try to protect their watershed, we hope that you may come up with ideas about how you can protect yours.

We have case studies about:

·          Subdivision Threat – A private developer intends to fill in a wetland in order to build and sell a series of housing units.  A local environmental organization decides to protect the wetland. 

Other case studies are under development and will be posted as they are completed.
