Abstract
  • The Lower Cow Creek Watershed assessment has two goals: 1) To describe the past, present, and potential future conditions that affect water quality and fish habitat within the Lower Cow Creek Watershed; and 2) To provide a research-based action plan that suggests voluntary activities to improve fish habitat and water quality within the watershed. The Lower Cow Creek Watershed is 102,537 acres. Riddle is the only incorporated city within the watershed. The most common land use in the Lower Cow Creek Watershed is forestry, with 91% of the land base used for public or private forestry. Agriculture constitutes 6% of the land use, and mostly occurs around Riddle. Land ownership is primarily private (60%).
