At that meeting GREN decided to engage in this program and to encourage our members to also get involved in it. It is an extremely important mechanism to develop water goals and objectives for the entire watershed and to determine what actions need to be taken to attain these goals and objectives, and to obtain commitments from the appropriate actors to carry out the needed actions. <br><br>The GRCA is holding an evening session on November 10 to inform people of this initiative and to obtain input into the draft water goals and objectives. We urge you to attend.
