The Clean Rivers Program is a comprehensive watershed assessment program that allows for the participation of stakeholders in the development of water quality priorities. A stakeholder is any individual or entity that has a vested interest in the Colorado River basin's waters, including the general public, non-governmental organizations, industry, government, fee payers and others.
Stakeholders have the opportunity to participate in the Clean Rivers Program as Steering Committee members. Three Steering Committees (upper, middle and lower Colorado River basin) identify and prioritize local water quality concerns, provide input on the assessment process, and make recommendations for future actions concerning water quality.
The Steering Committees meet annually to identify goals and priorities for water quality, to discuss possible uses of available state and federal funds, and to consider how to reduce pollution in priority areas. For more information or to become a Steering Committee member, contact watershed@lcra.org.
