The Gila Watershed Partnership of Arizona

The Upper Gila River Fluvial Geomorphology Study This project, funded by the Arizona Water Protection Fund, studied historic changes, flood frequency and flow duration analyses reports, geomorphic maps, geomorphic analyses, and stable channel analyses. The study provides a framework for understanding the physical processes that shape the Gila River upstream of the San Carlos Reservation.

The Central Detention Dam Rehabilitation Project  This project provided necessary maintenance for the detention dam that protects the Thatcher area from flood waterr that drains from Mount Graham. 

The Peterson Wash Stabilization Project Funded by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, Water Quality Improvement Grant Program, this project, is located on the only road to the local landfill. It stabilized an unsafe roadway, added new, wider box culverts, and a gabion structure to reduce erosion and sediment loading in the Gila River.

The Point of Pines Restoration Project This project helped in the lon-term restoration of the Upper Eagle Creek Riparian Area. It added an exclosure, fencing, and cattlegards to exclude cattle from an eroded road crossing at the confluence of Eagle and Willow Creeks in Greenlee County.

The Abandoned Vehicle Removal Project This project was made possible through funding from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality's Water Quality Improvement  and Recycling Grant Programs. This project was designed to remove abandoned vehicles, and recycle them. This project will improve water quality and keep vehicles out of our landfills.

The Southwest Willow Flycatcher Safe Harbor Umbrella Agreement  This project was made possible through funding from the Environmental Defense Fund. This program involves the development of an umbrella Safe Harbor Agreement for the Southwest Willow Flycatcher on the Gila River.
