Monitoring Water Resources on the Tulalip Reservation
TRI_0103
Monitoring of hydrologic conditions and flows on the Tulalip Reservation is critical to help assess climate change impacts and to project water use, availability, and surface water budgeting needed to manage water resources. These water resources are not only important to Tulalip Tribes’ natural heritage, but directly influence the fish, wildlife, plants, and habitat integrity across the Reservation. This proposal will provide a portion of the Tulalip cost share of a one-year cooperative stream gauge subcontract between the Tulalip Tribes and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), to operate five stream gages for essential surface water monitoring on the three primary streams on the Tulalip Indian Reservation in 2014.
