The USDA, Natural Resources <br />Conservation Service (NRCS) investigation has and continues to identify <br />water quality problem areas within the watershed. <br /> <br />A 319 demonstration project has been funded to show the effects of IWM <br />including surge irrigation in the watershed area to improve water <br />quality and quantity. <br /> <br />The Colorado Water Conservation Board has funded a project to <br />demonstrate new initiatives in water management. Both projects and <br />their data will be useful in encouraging farmer support and <br />cooperation. <br /> <br />The state of Colorado is in the planning stage in the development of a <br />water based fish and wildlife recreation area approximately 5 miles <br />north of this watershed. It would be the only state park in <br />Southeastern Colorado. The State is interested in any positive effects <br />that this project may have on their project. <br /> <br />The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Water Quality <br />Control Division is starting a monitoring program on the Arkansas <br />River. This data may be useful to evaluate the beneficial effects of <br />the project. <br />
