Utah's Watershed Restoration Initiative (WRI) is a partnership based program in Utah to improve high priority watersheds throughout the state. WRI is a bottom-up initiative where project planning, review, and ranking occur at a local level.
Five regional teams elect their own leaders, establish focus areas, review, score and rank project proposals using a comprehensive project prioritization score sheet, and assist their members in implementing projects.
Since 2006, WRI has focused on improving three ecosystem values:
1) Watershed Health and Biological Diversity
2) Water Quality and Yield
3) Opportunities for sustainable uses of natural resources.
