Developing 'Comparable' Small Watershed Monitoring and Assessment Protocols
This meeting is open to the public. Unless otherwise noted, it may be recorded for internal use.
Date and Time
Friday, April 24, 2009 from 9:00am - 4:00pm
Purpose
In the spring of 2009, STAC sponsored two workshops to derive a short list of comparable field monitoring and assessment approaches to assure quantifiable, comparable responses in the NRCS managed basins under Farm Bill implementation. The workshops addressed: 1) Developing criteria to select small watersheds for enhanced monitoring and assessment of the relation between implementation of management actions and water-quality response; 2) Recommend optimal approaches for several types of monitoring needed in small watersheds: land-use activities, implementation of practices, and water-quality monitoring; and 3) Present ideas for enhanced assessment of the monitoring information in the small watersheds and how to transfer the results.Location
