Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District

The Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) is a political subdivision of the State of Ohio that is dedicated to providing flood reduction, water conservation, and recreational opportunities in the Muskingum River Watershed. With a system of reservoirs and dams, the MWCD offers benefits to property owners and residents in the region, covering about 20 percent of the state of Ohio. Established in 1933, the MWCD has been committed to these goals for over 90 years.

The Muskingum River Watershed, the largest wholly contained watershed in Ohio, covers more than 8,000 square miles and drains into the Muskingum River, which eventually empties into the Ohio River. The MWCD is responsible for the development of the reservoirs and dams in the watershed, providing flood reduction and water conservation benefits. With a focus on conservation, the MWCD also offers recreational opportunities for visitors to enjoy the lakes, campgrounds, marinas, and trails in the area.
