Watershed Restoration


Vulnerability Analysis


JRA, in partnership with the Center for Watershed Protection (CWP), has conducted a vulnerability analysis of James River sub-watersheds to identify which watersheds contribute the most sediment to the James River from stormwater runoff. The project evaluates existing information for sub-watersheds and identifies priority watersheds for protection. JRA will prioritize subsequent watershed projects based on existing conservation areas, water quality impairments, soil erodibility, land use and Chesapeake Bay Program nutrient and sediment loading estimates used in the analysis. For each sub-watershed, planning goals and tools have been suggested by CWP based on expected current land use and water quality issues and expected future issues related to growth pressure.
