Potential for enhancing riparian habitats in the southwestern United States with watershed practices
Numerous watershed practices currently being implemented for erosion control and water augmentation purposes have improved hydrologic conditions in southwestern streams and enhanced establishment of riparian vegetation. This paper summarizes some potential opportunities for better managing existing riparian ecosystems, or for creating hydrologic regimes favoring re-establishment of new riparian communities in the southwestern United States. Generally, management opportunities exist where either the amount of water or duration of streamflow can be increased, or both. Various-sized channel structures, ranging from small gully check dams to large flood-control structures, have been used successfully for both stabilizing...
