Summary

Northern Arizona University will build upon the U.S. Forest Service Four Forest Restoration Initiative in Northern Arizona to investigate how restoration efforts can affect the water volume available in the snowpack and soil moisture in the Desert LCC. This project will result in a tool that can be used to predict the water volume in snowpack and soil moisture response to various forest treatments.

Purpose

The goal of this project is to combine remotely sensed data, field measurements, and geospatial statistics to model snow water equivalence and soil moisture response to ponderosa pine forest restoration treatments at existing already-treated research sites in the Verde River basin of northern Arizona and to identify those treatments that are optimal from a water-balance perspective for sustaining water availability for plants as well as downstream water users in Verde Valley and the Phoenix metropolitan area.
