BWSR works with local and federal conservation partners to respond immediately during flooding events by providing available state funds and technical assistance to support the recovery effort. Staff in local Soil and Water Conservation Districts and the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) are key partners, as they conduct preliminary damage assessments and begin work to complete key projects.
