The Scituate Reservoir watershed, Barden Reservoir-Ponaganset River watershed, and Moswansicut Pond-Huntinghouse Brook watershed do not have watershed assessments in place that address agriculture impacts on water quality. The Rhode Island Natural Resources Conservation Service has partnered with the Northern Rhode Island Conservation District to fund watershed assessments for the three watersheds in Providence County, northwest Rhode Island. The watershed assessments aim to fulfill requirements needed to enter the implementation phase of the National Water Quality Initiative. The public meeting will present these watershed assessments for the Scituate Reservoir and surrounding areas and discuss findings and planning efforts with area farmers and community members. All are welcome to attend. An RSVP is not required but will be appreciated.
