This assignment is on the North Bay-Mattawa conservation authority. evaluating a (sub)watershed plan within an Integrated Watershed Management (IWM) framework

Part 1. Describing the (Sub)watershed Plan (4 pages)
a) Describe the location of the (sub)watershed and the municipal and regional jurisdictions in the (sub)watershed.
b) Summarize the (sub)watershed’s biophysical features, land use, climatic conditions, and demographic and socio-economic characteristics.
c) Summarize the various environmental pressures facing the (sub)watershed, focusing on the types of impacts, the sources of the impacts and the projected future trajectories of each (will they worsen or improve in your opinion) if nothing is done, i.e., ‘business as usual’ scenario.
d) If information is available, list the stakeholders, describe the governance structure and describe how the Plan has been communicated to the public.
e) Summarize the major recommendations made in the (sub)watershed plan to address the problems during the implementation phase. List some of the major milestones and specific objectives.

Part 2. Critically Evaluating the (Sub)watershed Plan (3 pages)
Choose three of the following topics:
a) Does the plan reflect all of the IWM principles? Which ones do not appear to have been omitted? Is the plan comprehensive enough to suggest that implementation will successfully address problems in the (sub)watershed? (Note: you might be able to glean some information from the size and depth of the report). Justify your answers.
b) Was the governance structure inclusive? Were all stakeholders properly identified and included? How often did/do they meet? Is there a website for public communication? Is there evidence of inter-government (e.g., municipal – provincial) collaboration? Is there evidence of extensive public consultation through the planning phase? Justify your answers.
c) Are the milestones and objectives sufficient? Were future monitoring and reporting requirements adequately described? Is there an implementation plan? Is it financed? Who is responsible for carrying it out? Justify your answers.
