The webinar will also include NRCS Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Operations (WFPO) Program assistance to sponsors in preparing and carrying out watershed plans for purposes such as watershed protection and flood prevention, assessing the extent of watershed problems and the needs of a flood-prone community with watershed plans that may include nonstructural or structural measures.
