Our Watershed Regions
The Council on Watershed Management approved eight provisional watershed regions in 2019 and a ninth region in 2023 to coordinate flood risk reduction efforts among parishes and distribute project funds. The boundaries are subject to change based on regional input.
The Regional Capacity Building Grant Program provides funding to support these regional efforts. Watershed coordinators are listed below with contact information for each region.
