Hydrology

The hydrology of the Cache River has been greatly altered by human endeavors over the last two centuries. Additionally debate over the jurisdiction of various portions of the watershed by different governmental and private entities make management of the complex hydrological system a real challenge. Solid scientific data is needed to help guide management wisely.
