Utah Watersheds Council


The Utah Watersheds Council is a state council that is directed to serve as a forum to encourage and facilitate discussion and collaboration by and among the stakeholders relative to the water-related interests of the state and the state’s people and institutions. This state council will facilitate communication and coordination between the Department of Natural Resources, the Department of Agriculture and Food, the Department of Environmental Quality, and other state and federal agencies in the administration and implementation of water-related activities.

The state council also plays a key role with each of the twelve local watershed councils including the facilitation of the establishment of the local watershed councils and subsequent certification. The state council will also review the proceedings and documents submitted by proposed local watershed councils, to ensure that each local council meets the certification requirements.
