dc.description.abstract | The McKenzie River Watershed provides the sole source of drinking water to residents of Eugene, but increasing residential development could impact water quality. To protect drinking water quality, the Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB) is developing the Voluntary Incentives Program (VIP) to pay landowners to maintain healthy riparian forests that provide high quality water and other environmental benefits. Although the development of this initiative is ongoing, two crucial concerns remain regarding its feasibility: 1) Are EWEB customers willing to support such a program and 2) are landowners in the watershed willing to participate? | en_US |
