A hearty THANK YOU to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for funding our work from 2008 to 2010. Funding from DEQ's Water Quality Planning Bureau's 319 nonpoint source pollution program supported our organizational work and enabled us to conduct our first water quantity assessments (see Monitoring page).

We were also awarded a $1500 DEQ mini-grant to create this website and produce two maps
of the Lolo watershed. We created:

        1)  A general watershed map with key geographic features (towns of Lolo and Florence,   
        streams and rivers, floodplain boundaries, mountain peaks and elevations, public and private
        ownership, roads, forest and wilderness boundaries)

        2)  A map showing water rights (with water right number, priority date and flow rate) and
        irrigation ditches that will be invaluable as we work to maximize instream flow.

        To see the maps we created, contact any of the LWG Board members, or attend any of our
        public meetings where they will be available.
