WRIAs 55 & 57
Middle & Little Spokane Rivers

< N E W S >

 
Watershed planning under RCW 90.82 is being jointly conducted in the Little and Middle Spokane River Basins. The Spokane River System is tributary to the Columbia River and extends from Washington into Idaho. Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 55 is comprised of the drainage basin of the Little Spokane River. WRIA 57 is comprised of the portions of the drainage basin of the Spokane River upstream of the confluence with Hangman Creek and within Washington State.

Spokane County is the lead agency and one of the initiating governments. Members of the Planning Unit include broad representation of interests within the basins and hold monthly meetings that are open to the public.

The watershed planning effort has identified a variety of water management challenges. This web site provides an overview of the project for the interested public and also provides access to project management and technical resources for project team members.
