What is a Watershed District?

A Watershed District is a local unit of government authorized under Minnesota statute 103D, whose goal is to conserve natural resources through land use planning, flood control, and other conservation projects. Watershed Districts, Rice Creek included, roughly follow the boundary of the natural watershed they are managing, rather than typical political boundaries.
