Background
The geographic scope of this project is the coastal watershed of the Lower Laguna Madre north of the Arroyo Colorado watershed. There is a lack of water quality data for the three main channels (North Floodway, Hidalgo Main, and Raymondville Drain). Additional data are needed to assess the Lower Laguna Madre watershed's impairments and concerns, and to determine the contributing sources for water quality issues.
Project Description
This project will characterize the hydrology, land use, and water quality of the northern portion of the Lower Laguna Madre watershed. Results and partnerships from this project will provide the foundation for future development of a watershed-based plan.
