It flows through thick stands of cottonwood, <br />areas of row crops, vegetables, small grain, hayland, <br />pastureland, and a few orchards. The study area consists of <br />13 sites for a total of 20,100 feet (3.81 mi les) of stream. <br />The loss of farmable land, pastureland, and riparian areas, <br />loss of and damage to irrigation structures, and the damage <br />to bridge embankments are examples of types and extent of <br />damages. <br /> <br />The proposed measures for improvement include rock <br />riprap, anchored trees, rock jetties, jacks, vegetated <br />buffer strips, vegetative sprig revetment, and riparian <br />zones. <br /> <br />/ <br />/. <br /> <br /> <br />-----... - <br /> <br />l!IIIl_ ~1IIIIi <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />/ <br /> <br />Rock jetties protecting fish ponds in Uncompahgre River <br />Photography by Jim Thornton, SCS, Denver, Colorado <br /> <br />35 <br />
