Mississippi River St Cloud

One Watershed, One Plan (1W1P) is a program through the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) that supports partnerships of local governments in developing prioritized, targeted, and measurable implementation plans. Key principles are planning at the major watershed scale and aligning local plans with state strategies.

Plans created through the 1W1P program are called comprehensive watershed management plans (CWMP).
