The USRP goals include: (1) protecting, enhancing, and restoring the natural, ecological value of streams; (2) preventing future property damage caused by flooding and bank erosion; (3) promoting community involvement, education, and riverine stewardship.
A major objective of the USRP is to bring people together around projects that foster community relationships while ensuring the community’s interests are incorporated into the project’s planning, design, and outcomes.
Local community-supported projects can support local economies, renew a community’s understanding of the value of streams, and make them a centerpiece for the community while expanding their contact with nature.
USRP requires a public outreach and education component that is designed to encourage community participation in the planning process, public support for long-term management for a minimum 10-year timeframe, and to increase the public’s understanding of the project’s benefits to the environment and the sustainability of California's water resources.
These activities may include but are not limited to: community organizing, resource interpretation, multilingual translation, natural science, community education, and communication-related to water, parks, climate change resiliency, and other outdoor pursuits.
Eligible projects must be consistent with the goals of the USRP outlined in Water Code sec
