Hydrologic evaluation of the Big Wood River and Silver Creek watersheds. Summary report Item Info

From the Preface: In 1993, an extensive scientific project was initiated to better enable the citizens of Blaine County, Idaho to understand the water resources of the complex watershed in which they live. For a seven year period (1993-2000), The Nature Conservancy and a coalition of partners guided this study. The primary purpose was to inventory and evaluate the water resource systems connecting the Wood River Valley and Silver Creek. This consortium of organizations -- comprised of municipal and county governments, water and sewer districts, private companies and individuals, and non-profit organizations -- contracted with scientists from the University of Idaho's Idaho Water Resources Research Institute to develop a model of the watershed basin. now the data collection and analysis phases are completed, this Summary Report is designed to facilitate discussion by providing a non-technical overview pulling together previous investigations and distilling key finding into a single, non-technical document. A primary goal of this Report is to synthesize and highlight the methods and findings of two technical reports known collectively as Phases I and II of the Hydrologic Evaluation of the Big Wood River and Silver Creek Watersheds. While the focus of this Summary Report is upon Phases I and II, this Summary also reaches out to incorporate pertinent findings of other investigations as well as provide some original perspectives, organization, and analysis.
