  • Tribal Partnership Program - Navajo Nation at Bird Springs, AZ

    LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION: This study, conducted under the Tribal Partnership Program (TPP), is a watershed assessment that covers the Dinnebito, Oraibi, Polacca, and Jeddito Subwatersheds of the Little Colorado River Basin. The final product of the effort will be a Watershed Management Plan to address identified water resources and land-related needs of the sub-watersheds with potential structural and nonstructural strategies to meet the study objectives. Recommendations to be included in the Watershed Management Plan will provide Tribal decision makers a guiding strategic framework that identifies the sequencing of priorities and the appropriate implementing agencies, including federal and non-federal entities, to assist in addressing these priorities in a systems-wide perspective for the management of water and related land resources within the sub-basins.
