The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) Water Protection Program (WPP) conducts a quarterly interactive forum for stakeholders to share updates on WPP activities that protect the waters of the state. Educational presentations explain different topics like the standards used to determine if a stream is polluted in this Forum. The Forums help citizen stakeholders learn the MDNR "vocabulary" used in writing the rules that govern water quality protection in our communities, an essential step to helping craft future rules in cooperation with MDNR.
