State of the San Miguel Watershed 2014 (Full Report)

State of the San Miguel Watershed 2014 (Summary)

NOTES: The San Miguel Watershed Coalition produced the State of the San Miguel Watershed Report 2014 in partnership with local, state and federal agencies to assess ecological health within the drainage area of the San Miguel River. The publication is a sequel to the 2005 San Miguel Watershed Report Card and is intended as a public information tool for watershed management discussions. The goal of the report is to establish a quantitative scientific grading system for watershed health by using existing data and to recommend new monitoring to enable more complete future analysis. The State of the San Miguel Watershed Report was created as a science-based document that will allow for specific long- and short-term trend analysis through consistent data collection and evaluation. We intend to update the analytical results, as new data becomes available, and release a new State of the San Miguel Watershed report every five years. The San Miguel Watershed Coalition received funding from or partnered with the following organizations to make this report possible: Bureau of Land Management USDA Forest Service Natural Resources Conservation Service Colorado Parks & Wildlife Colorado State Forest Service Colorado Dept. of Natural Resources Colorado Dept. of Public Health & Environment The Nature Conservancy Mountain Studies Institute San Miguel County Sheep Mountain Alliance Town of Telluride Town of Mountain Village Town of Ophir Telluride Foundation Southwest Water Conservation District
