What is Nutrient Pollution?
Nutrient pollution is quickly becoming Teton County, Wyoming's most widespread, costly, and challenging environmental problem, and is caused by excess nitrogen and phosphorus in water. When too much nitrogen and phosphorus enter the environment - usually from a wide range of human activities - water can become polluted.
What is a Gravel Bed River System?
Most of the water in the Snake River is not in the river — it’s in the gravel. A gravel-bed river doesn’t just flow down the channel. It flows over and through the entire flood plain system, from valley wall to valley wall water is moving underground to make up the entire valley bottom. Gravel-bed river floodplains like the Snake River ecosystem are among the most ecologically important habitats on the continent.
