History of the Arizona Watershed Program
Publication: Watershed Management and Operations Management 2000
Abstract
The Arizona Watershed Program was formulated in the early 1960s by the State Land Department and the Arizona Water Resources Committee to work with the USDA Forest Service, their cooperators, and others to obtain and extrapolate research findings related to watershed management practices designed to increase water yields by manipulations of vegetative cover; to measure both the positive and negative effects of these vegetative manipulations on all natural resources; and to make economic evaluations of these manipulations. The Arizona Watershed Program was initially planned to find a solution to the age-old problem of conserving rainfall by putting every drop to a beneficial use. An abridged version of the history of this program is presented in this paper.
