About the Illinois Watershed Management Clearinghouse

Illinois Watershed Management Clearinghouse (IWMC) provides practical information to individuals interested in protecting our greatest economic and social resource, water.

Sponsored by University of Illinois Extension, Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the Illinois Council for Food and Agricultural Research, IWMC offers unbiased data, sound research and educational links and resources related to watersheds and watershed planning.

The site is designed to provide assistance both for individuals seeking to form a watershed group (Getting Involved in Watershed Planning) and for more experienced groups that need to research in detail a specific topic (Help For Existing Watershed Groups). The third section, References and Resources, provides links and descriptions to other websites and online tools related to watershed planning.

Please browse through the site and send any comments/suggestions to us using the Send Us Your Questions link under the Ask The Experts section.
