San Antonio River Authority

The San Antonio River Authority is developing an inventory of stream sites in the San Antonio River Watershed throughout the River Authority's district (Bexar, Wilson, Karnes and Goliad Counties) that are eroding or have poor aquatic and riparian function. This assessment is being developed primarily based on aerial photography with field verificat... ion when appropriate. Public input is a vital component to making stream restoration a success. The public has intimate knowledge of sites "next door" and in its backyard. Information provided by the public regarding stream sites for potential restoration, enhancement or even preservation is always welcome. Sites that the public identifies will be included in a watershed database. Citizens and organizations are encouraged to add specific site information to this database using the stream-team-assessment-form The River Authority is interested in a variety of sites, from rural to urban, small dry creeks to large flowing rivers, public or private property and highly modified channels to streams in their native condition. However, the public should be aware that the submittal of an Assessment Form is for data purposes only, and it does not indicate that the site will be visited by River Authority personnel. Information provided by the public regarding stream sites for potential restoration, enhancement or even preservation is always welcome.Read More
