San Miguel County
Water Quality Project
|
|
|
|
Over the last several years Southwest Data Center, Inc. has worked with INSTAAR - University of Colorado Boulder, San Miguel County, the Colorado Department of Health and Environment and the EPA - Region VIII on the San Miguel Water Quality Project. Through this project we have created three sets of GIS maps that are describe in detail below.

INSTAAR did a detailed field analysis of 17 high alpine watershed basins in eastern San Miguel County. In addition to collecting and analysing water samples, they mapped each of the landscape types in the regions. SWDC digitized this data and produced these maps.

Using this information and guidelines set by INSTAAR, San Miguel County and the EPA, SWDC produced a set of maps that delineate certain ecological sensitivities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Areas Sensitive to Eutrophicaion
Areas Sensitive to Acidification
Wetland Areas
Avalanche Areas
Trace Metals
