Blue River Summit
Blue River Watershed Association firmly believes in the power of partnerships to effect positive change in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Working together with cities, counties, public agencies, private businesses and other non-profit organizations, BRWA helped to sponsor the Blue River Summit in May 2004. Over 180 people attended the Summit. The Summit focused participants on the following objectives: fostering increased understanding of the Blue River Watershed's resources, challenges and opportunities; strengthening commitment to regional policies, goals and watershed-based planning; creating a cooperative framework for partners working in the Blue River Watershed; defining strategies to overcome challenges and take advantage of opportunities; and proposing demonstration projects to assist our community in learning about ways to improve water quality in the Blue River Watershed.
