DIRECTORY OF CONTACTS
There are many local units of government and organizations that you can contact for more information on water resource management, monitoring, regulation, and education. In this section you will find contact information for many of those units within the Twin Cities Metro Region. For contacts in Greater Minnesota, visit the Board of Water and Soil Resources or call 651-296-3767)
Looking for information on the condition of a river, lake, or wetland? Seeking grant funding or technical assistance on a water management project? Want collaborators to join in on a joint project? Try contacting the following units of government with water management responsibilities.
Since all levels of government — local, state, and federal — are involved in managing water resources, knowing who to contact can be confusing. If you are uncertain, a good first call is your Soil and Water Conservation District (sometimes simply called "Conservation District"). They will be able to tell you what watershed you live in and what level of government is responsible for your issue of concern.
