Waterman Center has been working with the Southern Tier Central Regional Planning and Development Board regarding an action plan for the Susquehanna and Chemung River basins.

The Susquehanna-Chemung Action Plan
is a watershed management plan for the Susquehanna and Chemung River Basins. This plan uses “ecosystem-based management” approach that integrates human needs, economic issues, and environmental concerns. This two year planning effort has culminated in a resource rich website, a GIS data viewer and an Action Plan. All located at www.susquehanna-chemung.org . Please use these resources, implement recommendations and communicate with Southern Tier Central Regional Planning and Development Board about how the action plan is working for you. They will be evaluating progress on this plan yearly and updating every five years.
