Flooding issues have been a signifi -<br />
cant concern in Mower County. In response to<br />
the fl ooding challenges, the district took the<br />
lead on the initiative to establish a watershed<br />
district in the Cedar River <strong>Water</strong>shed. The watershed<br />
district was created in May 2007, with<br />
the SWCD joining in a unique partnership as<br />
coordinator and administration.<br />
