Our Water Resources Mission:
"Preserve and
enhance the water resources in Spokane County watersheds
for the benefit of present and future generations."
The Water Resources department addresses the water quality and quantity issues within the District's boundaries. We provide technical assistance, information and education, and implement projects to protect, enhance and maintain the natural resources in Spokane County.

- Bioengineering Stabilization Projects
- Watershed Planning
- Fish Barrier Removal Program
- Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring Program
Water Quality Improvement Cost-Share Program
Funding for Project Implementation 
Landowners in Spokane county may be able to access funding for the development and implementation of management practices to protect water quality. Eligible practices include grassed waterways and sediment basin Best Management Practices (BMP’s). Call Charlie Peterson at (509) 535-7274 to check on the availability of funds or to schedule a free on-site consultation. Additional details on BMPs and the cost-share program are also available at Economic Opportunities with Conservation Practices.
