Hydrologic conditions related to the Hog Canyon riparian restoration project, Dinosaur National Monument
Martin L and Wagner J. 1992. Hydrologic conditions related to the Hog Canyon riparian restoration project, Dinosaur National Monument. Technical Report NPS/NRWRD/NRTR-92/13. National Park Service. Washington, DC
Long-term grazing by domestic livestock has significantly altered both vegetative ecosystems and stream channel morphology in Hog Canyon of Dinosaur National Monument. Hydrogeologic data collected in this investigation show that in the area of concern, there is close interconnection between the groundwater and surface water systems. In addition to the wet meadow, the zone along the perennial stream appears to be an important habitat for a threatened orchid species.
