The Prior Lake-Spring Lake Watershed District implements a number of programs and project
designed to achieve the District's mission of managing and preserving the water resources of the watershed district.
Current programs and projects are summarized briefly below. Additional information on each can be obtained from the
PLSLWD office. The District's programs and projects can be divided into three main categories: water quality
management, land management, and outlet system management.
| Outlet System Management - |
Another challenge for the District is to track the lake level of Prior Lake and the operation of the lake's outlet.
|
| Land Management - |
 The PLSLWDs land management efforts focus on identifying opportunities for increasing the water storage and improved runoff management practices in the watershed, and providing incentive payments and other options for achieving those increases. These efforts range from acquiring easements over wetlands to ensure their continued protection, promoting the installation of filter strips along ditches and streams, and restoring and enhancing drained wetlands. These efforts have the added benefits of protecting water quality and improving wildlife habitat, as well.
