Basin Overview

Utility installation land is shaped and planted in the basin. Two years later, the basin support habitat for plants and trees.

Follow the Water

After development work, water is under control from the top of the wash (photo 1) as it fills the ponding areas (photos 2, 3), waters willow trees (photo 4), and finally trickles into the sand of the large arroyo at the bottom (photo 5). The abundant water fuels rapid growth of plant life for the entire water course.
