"The CWCB selected the Big Thompson Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 8 Watershed (HUC ID 10190006) for Fiscal Year 2014 (FY14) Discovery effort. The watershed is in North Central Colorado, encompassing parts of Larimer, Weld, and Boulder Counties, and was significantly impacted by the 2013 floods. This Discovery effort aims to optimally leverage and integrate post-flood engineering analyses, mitigation initiatives, and lessons learned. The 2013 flood provides a "real-world" event to calibrate modeled information and presents a prime opportunity to utilize Risk MAP (non-regulatory) products to take further mitigation action. This Discovery process includes proactive community engagement along with watershed data collection regarding flood and non-flood hazards, ongoing mitigation initiatives, and opportunities for Risk MAP driven action in each of the communities., "September 9, 2016.", Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed July 2020)
Over the last 30 years declines in greater sage-grouse populations have occurred across much of their range. Breeding populations had declined by an estimated 17-47% since the mid 1970s, a trend that has paralleled significant changes in the sagebrush habitats essential for the species. The primary factors affecting this change in sagebrush habitats differ by region and state but include changes in fire regime, conversion to cropland and seeded grasslands, wild and domestic ungulates, removal of sagebrush to increase livestock production (mechanical and herbicide methods), range conversion by invasive exotic plant species like cheatgrass, and general anthropocentric encroachment (e.g. excessive hunting, roads, and mineral exploration and extraction). The result of these changes has been a progressive range-wide loss, fragmentation, and degradation of sagebrush habitats., by Thomas R. Thompson., Includes bibliographical references pages 34-38.

To assist the understanding of how to use each of the various Water Class codes that make up a diversion record, a number of coding diagrams are presented in the following sections., "Effective November 1, 2010.", Description based on online resource; title from PDF cover; (viewed June 2018)
Diversion records are the compilation of the "annual statements" required by statute and document administered diversions, user supplied information regarding diversions and the associated use of the water., "Effective November 1, 2010.", This manual is provided both as a standard and reference guide for the process of collecting data and compiling Diversion Records in accordance with Section 37-80-105, C.R.S. Effective November 1, 2010, all Diversion Records should transition to this standard.--Page ii., Description based on online resource; title from PDF cover; (viewed June 2015)
