Mica Creek Experimental Watershed
|
|
The Mica Creek Experimental Watershed is a
paired and nested catchment study basin, privately operated by Potlatch
Corporation. It is located in northern Idaho approximately 42 miles southeast
of Coeur d'Alene Idaho. The experimental watershed
encompasses the Mica Creek and the West Fork of Mica Creek (2700 hectares)
catchments, which are tributaries to the St. Joe River. In 1990,
researchers at the University of Idaho, in cooperation with managers at the
Potlatch Corporation, began work to evaluate the cumulative effects of modern
timber harvest practices. Current studies focus on harvest impacts on
water quality and quantity. |
