Rooted: public values and uses for Arizona streams and springs
What does water mean to you?
Is water really life, as reflected in public values and principles? Fresh water in an increasingly arid region like ours is important, but seeing or having access to surface water has many different meanings and uses to different people. This presentation will explore some of those meanings using local examples.
Our laws and policies for surface water are based on certain shared values and uses. What are the values and principles embodied in policies for care of water? How do they differ from the values and principles that govern water-dependent wildlife? What are the consequences of these differences, in relation to the economy and the policies for both water and wildlife.
Julia Fonseca, Environmental Planning Manager at Pima County has worked on land and water issues in southern Arizona for 30 years, first as a hydrologist with Pima County Flood Control District on groundwater recharge projects, and later in the Office of Sustainability and Conservation at Pima County where she now oversees portions of Pima County's Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan.
This is part of our Water Roots series, presented in partnership with the University of Arizona Water Resources Research Center. Learn more about the series here: www.skyislandalliance.org/water-roots-2018/

Building frog ladders at Cobra Loma Spring, Dragoon Mountains
มุมมอง 11211 ปีที่แล้ว
With help from volunteers, we built a wildlife ramp (a frog ladder!) at Cobra Loma Spring in the Dragoon Mountains. This will allow Chiricahua leopard frogs safe access to water in the springbox, expanding habitat availability in a core recovery area for this federally protected species. Special thanks to volunteer Dennis LeBlond for providing masonry tools and construction expertise, and to Li...

Spring Ecosystem Assessments in the Southern Whetstones
มุมมอง 12711 ปีที่แล้ว
13 volunteers joined SIA to assess the ecology of springs in the southwest corner of the Whetstone mountains. It was a group with diverse expertise and we all had a great time learning about plants, animals we found at the springs. We assessed 9 springs, found water at many of them and even some rare plants, and had a great time around the campfire viewing a beautiful sunset and Pan-STARRS come...

Es increible belleza. Wonderfull
Thanks
Beautiful
Re: Video description, you reversed your directional adjectives: To be correct, it's *southeast Arizona, *southwest New Mexico, not "southwest Arizona, southeast New Mexico". What your video described is not next to California, not next to Texas, but on either side of the Arizona/New Mexico state-line, thus *southeast Arizona and *southwest New Mexico. (Reference a map.) You will want to edit/correct your video description to reflect the correct directionals, and to proofread your typing in the future.
Awesome
It's quite a place. Sky islands stand out alot from their immediate surroundings.
I've seen bear scat and tracks in the Whetstone Mountains but this video confirms it but they are not common there.
I hike into the Whetstone Mountains often and I'd love to meet other hikers to join me, but I live near nobody does anything but sports Benson. Hikers are hard to find here.
Lots of hikers but the whetstone mountains are forgotten by most me and my family hike and off road and never see anyone. 15 20 years ago was very popular and at the end of the trail at the top of big rock was a jar with a notebook and pens so you could record when and how you got their
Absolutely stunning. Thank you for protecting this area.
Thanks for posting. In the future, more descriptive narration or text would be useful.
Lets stop the Mine in Santa Rita's ! thank you for your video.
