Arizona Watershed Stewardship Guide: Watershed Basic - Part I: Water Resources
Arizona Watershed Stewardship Guide was created to help individuals and groups build a mutual foundation of basic knowledge about watersheds in Arizona. It is intended to help Arizonans understand and be good stewards of their watersheds. The guide was designed to compliment the mission of Arizona Master Watershed Steward program to educate and train citizens across the state of Arizona to serve as volunteers in the restoration, conservation, monitoring, and protection of their water and watersheds. The guide consists of 10 self-contained modules which teach about important aspects of watershed science and management.
In this section you will learn:
- About the properties of water and how it is cycled through the planet.
- How water is distributed globally and in Arizona.
- Why water quantity and quality are so important.
- How to define a watershed.
- Why watershed vegetation and soils are important to water quantity and quality.
