<br />DOLORES RIVER - Montezuma County, Colorado. It flows <br />through timbered areas, hayland, rangeland, and pasture land. <br />The study area consists of 13 sites for a total of 52,870 <br />feet (10 miles) of stream. The loss of farmed land, <br />riparian areas, irrigation structures, and bridge <br />embankments are examples of types and extent of damages. <br /> <br />The proposed measures for improvement included rock <br />riprap, anchored trees, rock jetties, jacks, vegetated <br />buffer strips, vegetative sprig revetment, and riparian <br />zones. <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />1 <br />J <br />~ <br />~ <br />~ <br /> <br />Rock riprap on Dolores River <br />Photography by Jim Thornton, SCS, Denver, Colorado <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />28 <br /> <br />~ <br />
