The Papio-Missouri River NRD has joined with the Cities and Counties in our Watershed to develop an implementation plan for solutions to water quality and flooding problems.

The Papillion Creek Watershed consists of the land area that conveys water to the Missouri River from rain and snowmelt within the Papillion Creek basin. This area covers 402 square miles in Washington, Douglas and Sarpy Counties.

The Papillion Creek Watershed Partnership includes the cities of Omaha, Bellevue, Bennington, Boys Town, Gretna, La Vista, Papillion and Ralston,and the counties of Douglas and Sarpy.
