Introduction Watershed Achievements Report 2015 Statewide intensive watershed monitoring schedule and progress Minnesota’s watershed approach starts with Intensive Watershed Monitoring (IWM) around the state. Because of MPCA’s monitoring efforts, combined with other local monitoring efforts, Minnesota is well on its way to a comprehensive assessment of the waters of the state on a 10-year cycle, wrapping up in 2018. The MPCA has now initiated or completed IWM in 69 of the state’s major watersheds – that is approximately 85% of the state’s watersheds. The level of effort of this monitoring and the amount and types of data being collected in this Watershed Approach is well beyond that of past Intensive monitoring Watershed efforts.
