Partnerships – Key to SuccessPartnerships – Key to Success
We will:• Work with local or regional watershed
councils to develop watershed management plans
• Facilitate discussion among stakeholders with complementary or competing water needs
• Partner with other Federal agencies to address regional water issues
• Provide technical assistance to States and local communities
• Share data and information• Improve watershed models in
cooperation with others

SummarySummary
• The waterway transportation system is a vital part of our Nation’s Infrastructure/critical to America’s continued growth and prosperity
• The Corps is a partner in ensuring waterway transportation infrastructure is remains viable for the Nation
• Demands for waterway transportation are increasing requiring improved and reliable infrastructure
• Current aging infrastructure challenges are impacting extent of growth of marine and inland waterway traffic
• We continue to seek opportunities to improve infrastructure as appropriated funds areavailable
• We need to continue to educate the public on the importance of waterway infrastructure and its present condition
Building Strong 27
Navigation ChallengesNavigation Challenges
• Aging Infrastructure/System Reliability– 50% locks > 50 years old– increasing down time or delays– increasing emergency repairs
• Funding to support Navigation– O&M flat-lined in constant dollars– Limited construction funds for improvements– Inland Navigation Trust Fund going broke
• Increased demands for water transport– Need for increased lock sizes
• Competing interests for water – Water supply concerns– Ecosystem restoration– Hydropower– Flood Risk Management
