Overview Site Description & Introduction Methods Current Progress Future Work Questions

Site Description and Introduction Little Bear River, Cache County, Utah Drains the southern-end of Cache Valley Highly utilized – Agriculture Listed as impaired for: Phosphorus TSS Issues thought to result from nonpoint sources – agriculture Difficult to communicate issues Photo Courtesy: Utah Division of Water Rights (utah.gov)

Methods Water Quality Data National Land Cover Database NHD Flow Lines UWRL – Not available NWQMC (USGS/EPA) Lots of numbers, unknown quality National Land Cover Database NHD Flow Lines Utah AGRC Sub-watersheds Water Related Land Use Bear River Commission UPDES Dischargers

Current Progress – 2015 TDP

Current Progress – 2015 Total N

Current Progress – 2015 Temp.

Current Progress – 2015 DO

Future Work Add Additional data from 2005 and 1995 and compare for temporal changes in water quality Identify areas of the LBR which are gaining nutrients and compare to land cover information to determine if there is a correlation between agricultural use and increased water quality impairment.

Conclusion ArcGIS is a very effective tool at illustrated deteriorating water quality through a water shed Ability of ArcGIS to combine geographic, tabular, and graphical data is especially useful ArcGIS could improve scientists’ and engineers’ ability to communicate water quality issues to the public Fall Kokanee Salmon Run in LBR Headwaters Photo Courtesy: Tanwir Zaman (youtube.com)
