Our next charge was to visit seven of the <br /> <br />watersheds as selected by the cooperating agencies and evaluate <br /> <br />them on a watershed basis. The seven watersheds were chosen on a <br />basis of their total score, ,s,,""f"~':'"ifngiit 7'~~;X'ci5:t~ <br />..,~~~;r ."""'~"~-<I<~ii,;.<,..~~"R->..""",. .~,;..,.~,\". <br /> <br />and local SCS or BLM concerns.
