Soil Erosion &
Sediment Control
- This class will provide
information on soil erosion and sedimentation control (SESC)
principles and techniques. For those individuals responsible for
administering Part 91, SESC, of the Natural Resources and
Environmental Protection Act, 1994 PA 451, as amended (NREPA),
this class may be used as a substitute for the SESC training
program offered by the Michigan Department of Environmental
(MDEQ). The class information will be beneficial in preparing
for the SESC exam required under Part 91 of the NREPA and the
storm water operator certification exam required under Part 31,

Watershed Management
Program
-
Watershed management necessitates an
interdisciplinary approach to problem solving, with law, policy,
community development and resource economics issues contributing
as much to solutions as engineering, biology, hydrology and
chemistry. An effective watershed manager must understand the
science behind water resources management and have skills in
public relations, policy-making, and program evaluation.

Watershed Management in International Development
- Rural
development strategies in developing countries increasingly focus
on watershed management. A watershed is an area from which all
water drains to a common point, making it an attractive unit for
technical efforts to harness scarce water resources and conserve
soil for agricultural production and natural resource
conservation. Watershed management is seen as a way to raise
agricultural production, conserve natural resources, and reduce
poverty in rural uplands.
