This grant, offered by Reclamation, supports a collaborative effort with other agencies to conduct critical water quality studies in Colorado’s Lower Arkansas River Valley. The primary goal is to achieve optimal water management, leading to significant public benefits. These include enhancing water quality, improving vital fish and wildlife habitat, and bolstering conservation efforts within the Arkansas River ecosystem. The region currently faces severe environmental challenges, specifically dealing with the detrimental impacts of shallow groundwater tables, excessive salt accumulation, and elevated selenium concentrations, which are adversely affecting both agricultural lands and the broader river environment. This initiative aims to address these critical issues comprehensively.
