This Water Resources Management Plan represents the joint effort of the Pomperaug River Watershed Coalition (the Coalition), the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (CT DEP), the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Instream Habitat Program (formerly at Cornell University) and the University of Connecticut's Geography Department.

The plan could not have been produced without generous financial support from the State of Connecticut; The US Environmental Protection Agency- Region One; the towns of Woodbury, Southbury and Oxford; the Heritage Water Company; the Watertown Fire District Water Company; the Southbury Community Trust Fund; and the Coalition's Board, donors and members. The Coalition also recognizes the Connecticut Community Foundation's Nonprofit Assistance Initiative and the Greater Bridgeport Area Foundation. The Calpine Corporation has provided ongoing funding for two of the USGS gauging stations in the Pomperaug basin and granted funding for early studies leading to this plan. Several experts, more numerous than can be conveniently mentioned here, have reviewed portions of the plan and have helped guide our efforts.
