Watershed Planning
Rivanna River Basin Project (1998)
The Rivanna River Basin Project was initiated in 1996 by the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission (TJPDC) to assess past and current conditions of the Rivanna River and its tributaries, to gather information that could be used to maintain and improve water quality, and to provide this information to citizens and decision makers within the region. The project was guided by a 24-member Rivanna River Roundtable consisting of stakeholders from all parts of the Rivanna Watershed, who represented all the political jurisdictions and a variety of interests, and included farmers, developers, designers, environmentalists, educators, scientists, preservationists, historians, and authors. The project, including studies and recommendations, is documented by the State of the Basin Report (1998).
OUR PURPOSE
The Rivanna River Basin Commission provides guidance for the stewardship of water and natural resources of the Rivanna River Basin and promotes activities by local, state, and federal governments, and by individuals, that foster resource stewardship for the environmental and economic health of the Basin.
The Commission has representatives from these jurisdictions and organizations.
