WATERSHED DISTRICTS


Picture
What is a Watershed District (Minnesota Association of Watershed Districts)
​Watershed districts are local, special-purpose units of government that work to solve and prevent water-related problems. The boundaries of each district follow those of a natural watershed and consist of land in which all water flows to one outlet.  The districts are usually named after that watershed. 

West Polk County has 4 Watershed District's within it's boundary.
