THE FIVE SUB-BASINS

Five sub-basins. One watershed.

MRWAC works across five major hydrologic sub-basins. Each has its own working group, three-year workplan, and regional priorities.

OUR REGIONAL APPROACH

Tailored to each basin’s geography and water challenges.

The Mississippi River Basin spans diverse geographies and hydrological conditions. From northern forests and lakes to southern wetlands and delta, each region faces distinct water challenges.

Each sub-basin operates as a Working Group with its own roster of partners, a three-year workplan, and sub-targets that guide project selection and investment.

OUR VISION

By 2035, address 20% of the basin's most pressing water challenges.

MRWAC aims to mobilize funding and partnerships for water stewardship projects spanning 24 million acres — focused on water quantity, quality, and access.
