		Because the watershed is relatively small, and because it lies in two states, appropriate management of both the allocation of water resources and the regulation of water quality have not been well coordinated by the governments of both states.
		A complete study of the Ramapo River Watershed with a bi-state management plan has never been undertaken, and is long overdue given the basin's function as a vital water supply.
		It is hoped that the newly formed Ramapo River Watershed Intermunicipal Council will take the leadership role in uniting our efforts towards the accomplishment of these critically needed studies so we can put protective management of our watershed resources into place.
