South Platte Headwaters Wildfire/Watershed Assessment

We have completed a wildfire/watershed assessment and prioritization for the South Platte Headwaters Watershed. The assessment followed a procedure prescribed by the Colorado Watershed Protection Data Refinement Work Group titled “Protecting Critical Watersheds in Colorado from Wildfire: A Technical Approach to Watershed Assessment and Prioritization”.

The South Platte Headwaters Watershed Assessment identified, prioritized, and recommends 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, and deposition.
