The Watershed We Want: Granite Creek to the Verde River

Submitted by Ann-Marie Benz on November 14, 2011 - 11:11am

Executive Summary

 

Had we heeded John Wesley Powell’s advice of more than 130 years ago …that simple logic demanded we become part of a community based on our common water course… perhaps this project would not be necessary. Since we did not, it is now urgent that we take steps now to safeguard our watershed – The Watershed We Want.

Riparian Buffer Assessment

In early 2010, the riparian buffers in the upper Granite Creek Watershed were assessed to determine their effectiveness in slowing and filtering pollutants from surface runoff. Data on botanical and physical characteristics of the riparian buffers were collected in urban and forested reaches of Granite Creek and its tributaries.

Watershed Residents' Survey

The goal of the Watershed Residents' Survey is to determine residents’ knowledge of local watershed and water quality issues, perceptions of water quality, attitudes and values about protection and restoration of local water ways, and environmental behaviors. Data collected on these subject areas will assist in determining the educational needs of the community.
