I would like to make my land more drought proof in general… I have property in the Bull Mountains with several creeks and springs and through the years I have seen boggy areas dry up. We are implementing a conifer mitigation plan and would like to improve the health of our water resources using BDS’s and other appropriate management techniques (including grazing plans). I also rely on our river in the Boulder Valley to flood the hay meadows each spring and rejuvenate the sloughs/subirrigation, and also store stock water through the summer. Due to low snow pack, drought, and increasing demands on our watershed each year the river has not flooded for the last 2 years and may not this spring as well. I am hoping there may be projects or ideas out there to help with this. I know the river is incised and overwidened in areas.
I am very exciting to learn all I can about different techniques and how to implement them properly!
