SOUTH PLATTE RIVER BASIN NATIONAL WATER-QUALITY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM STUDY
The South Platte River Basin study, conducted as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program, combines information on water chemistry, physical characteristics, stream habitat, and aquatic life to provide science-based insights for current and emerging water issues in surface and ground waters of the South Platte River Basin. The results can contribute to informed decisions that result in practical and effective water-resource management strategies that protect and restore water quality.
