Wetlands Programs — ELI-Wetlands Listserve

ELI-Wetlands, the free electronic forum on wetlands, floodplains, and coastal resources, provides an on-going outlet for the debate and dissemination of information on wetlands law, policy, science, and management. The listserv offers the best way available to quickly share resources and provide direct point-counterpoint on the key issues affecting wetlands.

Water Resources Management Projects
  • ELI is studying the laws governing water resource use and allocation in many Western states, with specific issues ranging from facilitating water markets to incentivizing water use efficiency, reuse, and reclamation.
  • ELI examines federal, state, and local watershed measures to protect water resources and assure their availability for use while maintaining ecological and hydrological integrity of watersheds, estuaries, basins, and groundwater systems.
Water Quality Projects
  • ELI studies ways to address nonpoint sources of water pollution, primarily through innovative uses of state and local laws, and examination of synergies among cost-sharing, technical assistance, enforcement, and liability.
  • ELI is examining use of the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program to address numerous pollutants, including biological pollutants and invasive species, nonpoint sources and stormwater, and others.
  • ELI is studying effective use of the watershed approach at multiple scales, and examines market mechanisms, tax incentives, enforcement, and land use meas
