2. What is the “Ciénega de Santa Clara”
From: Monitoring Program for the Ciénega de Santa Clara
Agreement No C0966 with the University of Arizona
“A formal description or definition is beyond the scope of this effort and is hampered not only by the seasonal and other fluctuations in the geographic extent of the emergent vegetation and associated open-water areas, but also by the formal and informal application of the term “Cienega de Santa Clara”. The use of the term has included areas adjacent to or near to the area monitored in this report.
First map in the scientific literature that uses the place name “Ciénega de Santa
Clara”. (Glenn et al., 1992)

3. Watch the Ciénega and associated surface water change over time…and new water bodies appear. Red arrows provide some fixed reference points.
