The Watershed Management Symposium has been developed as an annual venue for these groups to convene and highlight efforts, successes and challenges, share unique experiences, transfer information, and take knowledge back to the watersheds.The Symposium is the forum for hearing the most up to date information on Illinois watershed management from regulating government agencies and well-developed Illinois watershed organizations. Symposium topics include current water quality challenges and implementation projects, funding, regulation updates, and new available resources.
