Water Resources Management Plans

The National Park Service (NPS) was formed on August 25, 1916, and is the U.S. federal agency that manages all national parks, many national monuments, and other conservation and historical properties with various title designations. Water Resources Management Plans include all the elements found in the Water Resources Scoping Report; overview of water-related legislation, summary of hydrologic environments, and identification of water-related issues. In addition, the Water Resources Management Plan describes recommendations for future action that address the high-priority issues. These actions are prepared in the form of detail project statements, which include representative budgets. This is one of those plans.
