We have completed a watershed assessment and prioritization for the Arkansas Headwaters Watershed. The assessment followed a procedure prescribed by the Front Range Watershed Protection Data Refinement Work Group titled “Protecting Critical Watersheds in Colorado from Wildfire: A Technical Approach to Watershed Assessment and Prioritization”.
The Arkansas Headwaters Watershed Assessment was completed to identify, prioritize, and recommend measures to protect those watersheds that provide or convey critical community water supplies from the adverse effects of post-wildfire hydrologic changes, including flooding, erosion, deposition, and introduction of potential contaminants.
The final report can be found on our Arkansas Files Page
Results can also be reviewed at our Arkansas Headwaters Results Blog
