Basin Management Approach

Water Quality: It’s Not Just Our Goal — It’s Our Future! Join Us in Protecting the Quality of Your Water!

The purpose of Mississippi’s Basin Management Approach is to protect and restore the quality of Mississippi’s water resources. This is done by developing and implementing effective management strategies that address water quality issues.

Many agencies, organizations, businesses and citizens are coming together to help implement the Basin Management Approach. By working together and collaborating with one another, we are protecting and improving our water resources.
