Topic: Maintain the hydroperiod and water supply for wetlands. (View All Topics in the Plan)
(View All Topics in the Plan)Identify, protect, and restore (where necessary) source waters for wetlands, including groundwater recharge areas.
Where appropriate, maintain water in wetlands and streams through water conservation techniques such as float valves, diversion values, hose pumps,...
Identify features (e.g., roads, trails, culverts, ditches, etc.) that interfere with the hydrology of wetlands, and implement approaches to address...
Manage forest cover to increase snow retention in areas that will benefit water availability in wetland habitat.
Restore habitat in degraded headwater streams that are expected to retain adequate summer streamflow and will benefit wetland habitat.
Increase protection and restoration of wetlands and groundwater recharge areas.
Address water loss at water diversions and ditches.
Remove human-made hydrologic structures (e.g., culverts, ditches, berms, and dikes) to restore natural hydrologic processes in wetlands.
Decommission roads and reduce road connectivity in critical wetland habitat areas to encourage interception and retention of water.
