 Alluvial channel on the Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed

Erosion and sedimentation research is conducted at the Southwest Watershed Research Center to:

  • Determine upland and channel erosion and sedimentation processes and their impact on water quality, semiarid landscape evolution and the health and sustainability of rangeland ecosystems
  • Develop new technology to determine the rate of soil loss an ecosystem can endure and still remain economically and ecologically sustainable
