Water quality and riparian zone management issues have a profound impact on Wyoming landowners and natural resource managers in terms of potential public policy, and regulatory responses to water quality issues.

In Wyoming, Quentin Skinner is synonymous with watershed management, water quality and riparian zones. Dr. Skinner recently completed Wyoming Watersheds and Riparian Zones, a reference specifically designed to assist landowners, agency personnel, and the general public in assessing watershed condition and developing reasonable management objectives. This was a 3 year project in collaboration with Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality and other Extension Specialists.

This book is unique in providing specific technical information and management guidelines to address Wyoming water quality and riparian management issues.
