Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00119
The grant opportunity titled "Long-term dynamics of stream hydrology and water quality" supports a collaborative monitoring effort in the Jemez River watershed in New Mexico, led by the University of New Mexico in partnership with the Valles Caldera National Preserve and the USFS Santa Fe National Forest. The core purpose is to track how landscape restoration work in forested headwaters affects both the amount of water moving through streams (discharge) and the condition of that water (water quality) over time. The project is positioned as part of a broader, multi-organization restoration program where monitoring data are needed to judge whether management actions are meeting stated objectives and moving the landscape toward desired conditions.
A central idea behind the work is that forest restoration treatments such as thinning and prescribed burning, along with the effects of wildfires, can significantly change watershed structure and function. Those changes can alter runoff patterns, baseflows, erosion, and the transport of sediments and other constituents, ultimately affecting aquatic ecosystems and sport fisheries. By collecting long-term measurements of stream discharge and water quality, the project aims to produce concrete, defensible information about how much water is being generated in treated or restored watersheds and how that water is delivered downstream to nearby communities and agricultural users, including farms and ranchlands. The monitoring is also intended to document whether restoration is associated with improvements in water quality, which can have direct implications for ecosystem health and downstream water uses.
The hydrology and water-quality results are not meant to stand alone. Instead, they are designed to feed into and strengthen related monitoring efforts that look at fisheries, aquatic invertebrates, stream-channel geomorphology, and overall ecosystem productivity. In practical terms, that means the streamflow and chemistry data become a shared foundation for interpreting biological and physical changes observed in the watershed, helping partners connect restoration actions to measurable responses across the aquatic system.
The opportunity also has a strong workforce and education component. The project will train one graduate student and several undergraduate students, providing hands-on experience in field monitoring, data handling, and applied watershed science in a real management setting. Dissemination is emphasized as well: findings are expected to be shared with water management agencies, the scientific community, and the general public through public presentations and peer-reviewed scientific publications. Beyond ecological outcomes, the project explicitly links water-production measurements to socio-economic analysis, using the monitoring data to evaluate the financial and societal impacts of restoration, including ecosystem services, job creation, and the economic value of natural resources.
