Abstract:
This report presents the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) findings and recommendations for assessing natural resource conditions and evaluating the effectiveness of conservation efforts. Drawing upon the two USDA project studies, St. Joseph River Watershed Project in Indiana and Cienega Creek Watershed Project in Arizona, as well as prior USDA research and assessment activities, the report emphasizes the need for multiple types of assessment approaches specific to the water resource concern and hydroclimatic setting, geographic location, and spatial and temporal scales.
Reports and other documents about Sonoran Desert ecology, management, and conservation. Curated by the not-for-profit Altar Valley Conservation Alliance (AVCA) located outside Tucson, AZ.
