WHY THE NEED FOR DATABASE MANAGEMENT?

• Seven major rivers cross the reservation– 24 Established sampling sites – 12+ years accumulated water quality data– 7+ years accumulated benthic data– Spreadsheet program limitations – Inability to complete statistical analysis

Nutrient Workgroup Members include: EPA Region VI, EPA Region VIII, Southern Ute Tribe, Ute Mtn. Ute Tribe, State of Colorado, New Mexico, CDOW, and several environmental interest groups.
