Title: Assessment of Best Management Practice Effects on Rangeland Stream Water Quality Using Multivariate Statistical Techniques: Journal: Rangeland Ecology & Management; Authors: C. A. Ellison, Q. D. Skinner, and L. S. Hicks; Date: 2009; Summary: This study took place along Muddy Creek in south central WY. Water quality data were collected from 1994-2004 and analyzed to determine whether livestock grazing best management practices (BMPs) improved water quality of the watershed. Rain gauges, water quality monitoring stations, and stream cross sections were established. Water quality parameters measured were pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and temperature. Physical attributes were elevation, slope, weighted mean substrate size, weighted embeddedness, stream velocity, and stream flow.
