Programs
Marion Soil & Water Conservation District
The Marion SWCD has developed multiple programs that evaluate both water quality and water quantity in Marion County. These programs help educated landowners on protecting water quality and provide valuable water quantity data to municipalities and other stakeholders

Pudding Pesticide Stewardship Partnership (PSP)
The Marion Soil and Water
Conservation District partners with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, OSU Extension Service, Agriculture businesses
and other partners to work on identifying and reducing non-point source pollution and to reduce off-target chemical input to
local streams.
Stream Flow Program
Program was established in 2008 to gather necessary environmental baseline data to help the county and Pudding watershed comply with the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA) and the Endangered Species Acts (ESA). The program operates in conjunction with the District's Water Quality Program providing daily flow and water temperature on 5 Marion County creeks.
Water Quality
In 2002 an effort was made between Marion County, the Pudding River Watershed Council and the Marion SWCD to conduct a water quality monitoring program in the Pudding River watershed. Read the local reports and see how well one of the local watersheds are doing.
