Members of a team monitoring irrigated lands watch and take note of variables like
temperature and flow on a regular basis. Their information, as well as data from other
monitoring partners, will provide information needed by others who work in the watershed.
Watershed Resources
The following list of resources
was provided by the UC Coop-
erative Extension for land
owners and others interested
in water policies, rights and
management and enhance-
ment projects.
National Fish & Wildlife Foun-
dation Sierra Nevada Meadow
Restoration Business Plan
This funded plan was one of
the main reasons Holly
George of the cooperative ex-
tension called together scien-
tists, water rights authorities,
legal experts and ranchers for
an educational forum at the
Plumas-Sierra County Fair-
grounds in February.
Writers spell out how the ma-
jority of the state's water
comes from the Sierra Nevada,
and a warming climate will
create a "monumental chal-
lenge," with one solution put
forward -- restoration and
conservation of meadows.
Funds include $10- $15 mil-
lion in the first five years,
with up to $200 million more
from various partners, stake-
holders and other agencies
and organizations.
A copy of the business plan is
available at nfwf.org, (enter
the words Sierra Nevada
Meadbw Business in the
search box).
The plan date is March 5,
2010.
The California Water Plan
This statewide water plan
is in the process of being
updated, which is done
every five years.
Public advisory committee
members have been named,
and the California Water
Commission will meet March
10 in Sacramento.
For information, log on
to the Department of
Water Resources website
water.ca.gov.
Feather River Coordinated
Resource Management
This diverse group is
composed of 24 public and
private sector groups whose
members joined to collect-
ively improve the health of
the upper Feather River
watershed.
More than 115 projects have
been completed through this
collaboration for the better-
ment of the meadows. An
economic benefit is also pro-
vided via the grants funneled
into the watershed.
For information about pro-
jects and funding sources, go
to feather-river-crm.org.

The results of monitoring restoration work, such as this forage study in Sierra Valley, help tell
ranchers and others whether or not changes in land management practices are working.
A flow meter is one of the
monitoring tools researchers
use. This one measures water
flowing through the middle
fork of the Feather River.
