Watershed Management
The purpose of the current Lake Sunapee Watershed Management Plan is to maintain the high quality waters of the lakes, ponds and streams in the watershed and to address ways to improve current water quality in the face of many challenges including continued development and more frequent severe storm events due to climate change. An action plan was created to meet our 10-year water quality goal and includes the following categories: Education & Outreach, Research, Further Evaluation, Monitoring and Assessment, Land Conservation, Land Use Regulation, Zoning and Ordinances.

Completed Water Quality Improvement Projects
Water quality improvement projects are designed to slow down and infiltrate stormwater runoff. They often involve a collaboration between governmental agencies, local towns and private landowners and are completed using a combination of in-kind match, private contributions and grant funding.
