The Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO) is a local government unit dedicated to protecting and improving water quality, habitat, and natural resources in an urban watershed that directly drains into the Mississippi River. As one of the many watershed organizations in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, the MWMO collaborates with various stakeholders to ensure the preservation and enhancement of the watershed's ecological integrity.
Through their joint-powers authority, the MWMO implements a range of initiatives, including capital project grants, stewardship fund grants, community grants, and planning grants, to engage the community in watershed management. They also offer resources and opportunities for individuals to take action, such as adopting a drain, participating in community cleanups, and becoming Minnesota Water Stewards. With a focus on preventing water pollution and promoting sustainable practices, the MWMO plays a vital role in safeguarding the health and vitality of the urban watershed.
