<br /> <br />STREAM INVENTORIES <br /> <br />In 1973 the Westwide Study collected the following <br />data: <br /> <br />Region Channel Moderate Serious Total <br /> LenQth Erosion Erosion <br />(streaml i ne) (bank mil es) (bank mil es) (bank mil es) <br />Missouri 21,450 970 910 1,880 <br />Arkansas 16,420 3,830 4,080 7,910 <br />Rio Grande 7,710 20 10 30 <br />Upper <br />Colorado 56.680 3.170 3.520 6.690 <br />TOTALS 102,260 7,990 8,520 16,510 <br /> <br />For the present study the 80 sol I conservation <br />districts of Colorado were contacted to do an inventory on <br />streambank erosion problems for each of their areas. Fifty <br />of the districts submitted inventories giving a total of <br />6,009 (bank mi les) of moderate erosion and 6,962 (bank <br />mi les) of severe erosion for a total of 12,971 (bank mi les). <br />Twenty-nine of the districts nominated 1,278 (bank miles) of <br />streams to be studied. The 10 streams chosen to be studied <br />had a total of 402 (bank mi les) or a total of 201 stream <br />mi les. The actual stream mi les studied for the 10 study <br />areas was 62.31. <br /> <br />37 <br />
