A Water Management District is a regional governmental agency responsible for managing and protecting water resources within a specific area. These districts oversee the allocation, conservation, and quality of water, ensuring sustainable use for communities, agriculture, and ecosystems. They often implement policies and programs to address issues like flooding, drought, and water pollution. These districts work closely with local governments, stakeholders, and the public to develop water management plans. They may also conduct research and monitoring to assess water conditions and trends. Examples of such agencies include the South Florida Water Management District and the St. Johns River Water Management District.
