New Board Established For Watersheds

A new International Watershed Board for the Rainy Lake and Lake of the Woods watersheds is now in place.
It was a key recommendation of an advisory committee looking at ways to improve water quality.
The new entity consolidates the two existing boards.
The Rainy-Lake of the Woods Watershed Board is comprised of 20 members, representing interests and governments in both Canada and the U.S.
It will report to governments on water quality objectives in the boundary waters.
