The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will host seven workshops across Indiana through February, April, and May to allow Hoosiers to provide input on the development of Indiana’s statewide water inventory and management plan under Governor Mike Braun’s Executive Order 25-63.
“Water is an essential resource for life and for the vitality of all Indiana communities, which is why it’s crucial that Indiana’s ample water supply is available for Hoosiers in all corners of our state,” said Gov. Braun. “Through a transparent water inventory and development of a management process, we’ll make sure Indiana is well-positioned for resource needs now and for future generations.”
At the workshops, attendees will be asked for input on developing a regional water planning framework, enhancing Indiana’s water monitoring networks, and creating an online water data and management platform. This planning effort builds upon the regional water studies led by the Indiana Finance Authority and by many local and regional partners, utilities, industry, municipalities, and other water users.
