Topic: Ensure that the Riparian and Wet Meadow Ecosystem is thriving, vibrant, and resilient.
Consider the creation of "streamside management zones" (SMZ), whose widths are directly dependent on slope and stream class.
Support Blue Creek mitigation project that will raise roadbed and store more water on the landscape.
Map riparian areas that lack canopy cover and experience high water temperatures.
Map locations upstream of the China Diversion Dam where beaver release or beaver dam analogs could benefit water retention on...
Maintain or restore riparian vegetation to high-value areas in order to limit channel exposure to solar radiation.
Map locations above China Diversion Dam where riverbank fencing and off-site troughs with solar pumps may aid riverbank stabilization and...
Monitor Owyhee River below the China Diversion Dam to ensure minimum flow levels for aquatic life are met, especially during...
Restore meanders, soils, and channel structure of Owyhee River where possible.
Identify areas where riparian setbacks (buffer zone) and other methods could be used to increase bank stabilization.
Construct riparian setbacks (and utilize other methods) to increase bank stabilization in high-value areas.
Identify areas that experience water loss due to water diversions (including ditches).
Implement projects that address water loss at points of water diversion (including ditches).
