Program Details

As we undertake multiple efforts to restore and learn about our watershed, we remain observant. The council maintains comprehensive land cover information through our computerized Geographic Information System (GIS), and is engaged in ongoing projects to monitor trends in watershed conditions. The MRC has taken a lead in comprehensive watershed planning efforts to identify and respond to restoration needs as they arise.

The MRC has been developing methods, protocols, and operating procedures for digital field-based data collection. The purpose of these methods is to improve data quality during field collection, and includes the integration of digital photographs, Global Positioning System (GPS), and field-based Geographic Information Systems (GIS) through the use of handheld computers.
