2009/2010 Open House & Workshop Results
The Integrated Water Resources Strategy (IWRS) Project Team conducted workshops and held open house events throughout the state in 2009/2010.  These events were largely aimed at gathering local input to inform the development of the strategy.  Participants also had an opportunity to provide their input through a survey.  Responses gathered from these events are summarized in this document:  IWRS 2010 Public Input Results.  The Open House photos can be accessed here: 2010 Visual Summary.
