Abstract
Learn how to rapidly assess and manage water systems in this 66-page fully illustrated guide. Designed for those with little to some knowledge of riparian ecology, this decision-support tool not only improves an understanding about how waterways should function in sagebrush ecosystems, but also provides a five-step framework for how to identify, discuss and address threats to those resources. Appendices provide handy references, photographic examples of riparian elements and forms to help complete documentation of an assessment.
