Restore function of watersheds, floodplains, riparian areas, wetlands, and groundwater-dependent ecosystems. Restore water quality, quantity, and timing

Tactics

Implement transportation system improvements (e.g.
general best management practices
travel management implementation
culvert/bridge design with stream simulation
road relocation
permeable fill to encourage sub-surface flow)
Promote and increase beaver populations where appropriate
Promote appropriate livestock grazing management and proper use standards
Improve water diversions
delivery systems
and livestock distribution; divert only what is needed from the natural system and minimize impact to spring sources (e.g.
use shut off valves and splitters
locate troughs away from water sources
and locate h
Conduct vegetation management (e.g.
mechanical treatments
prescribed fire
and wildland fire use) to develop appropriate vegetation density and composition for optimal water balance and healthy watersheds (e.g.
aspen/conifer and water yield)
Improve water diversion and delivery systems for livestock and other uses
