Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative: Water Resources
Long-term streamflow, groundwater, and water-quality data collection
Using the data to detect trends
The Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative is a long-term science-based effort to assess and enhance aquatic and terrestrial habitats at a landscape scale in southwest Wyoming, while facilitating responsible development through local collaboration and partnerships. The WLCI is an interagency working group of partners that is beginning the process of establishing a much larger coalition of government and non-government organizations.
The Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center one of the Science Centers supporting the WLCI effort, by providing data collection and analyses of water resources data. These data are collected in cooperation with local, State, and other Federal agencies in the WLCI study area to gain understanding of the hydrologic systems, as well as provide data for water management purposes.
Currently, there are three main areas of study:
- Long-term monitoring of streamflow, groundwater, and water quality and determination of water-quality trends
- Determining streamflow drivers of small streams in the Wyoming Range
- Understanding hydrogeomorphic processes, including sediment transport, of Littlefield Creek
