Documents

The Austin Creek Watershed Assessment uses a Geographic Information System (GIS) to analyse the features of the Austin Creek watershed, document past land uses and trends in the system. The focus of the analysis is erosion problems, areas of major vegetation changes and other features related to water quality and anadromous fish habitats. The assessment also includes recommendations to improve water quality and aquatic habitats.

The Russian River Coastal Tributary Improvement Program inventoried and assessed watershed features and conditions, established monitoring sites and collected monitoring data, involved community members, agencies and private property owners, and integrated the information from the assessment into an action plan consisting of Best Management Practices (BMPs), revegetation and riparian enhancement projects and recommendations for continued actions to improve water quality and salmonid habitat in the target watersheds.
