| Website Title | Water Quality on US Forest Service Grazing Allotments |
|---|---|
| Website Summary | This project focuses on surface water quality on U.S. Forest Service (USFS) grazing allotments in California (USFS Region 5). Concerns have been voiced about elevated fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) concentrations, and thus possible risk to public health, on several grazing allotments in the Sierra Nevada. Additional concerns have been raised about the potential for elevation of nutrient concentrations. The monitoring and educational program described here will evaluate water quality conditions, sources of water pollution, and guide management to improve water quality where needed. |
