The Whitewater Joint Powers Board is a group of elected commissioners and Soil and Water Conservation District directors from Olmsted, Wabasha, and Winona Counties in Minnesota. They work together to improve water quality, reduce erosion and flooding, and promote a land stewardship ethic among citizens in the Whitewater River Watershed.
With a history dating back to 1938, when farmers voluntarily adopted new practices to reduce erosion and flooding caused by the Whitewater River, the Joint Powers Board continues to build on citizen efforts. They hold regular meetings and collaborate with local, state, and federal conservation staff to address upstream sources of sedimentation and protect the natural habitat of the Whitewater River and its tributaries.
