"The Watershed Geology Lab at CSUMB includes resources for physical and hydrologic watershed studies including sediment transport, geomorphology, and computer modeling. Doug Smith oversees undergraduate and graduate research in the Watershed Geology Lab. The Lab is used in connection with the adjacent Geology Teaching Laboratory to deliver high quality curricula and hands-on research opportunities to CSUMB students."
Predicting risks and assessing damages to certain areas, are Doug's profession and passion.
Basin complex Affected over 1000 small water sheds.
Costs and damages estimated $42.5M Indians fire, $77.2M fighting fires.
Water bars installed help to avoid soil runoff on the fire breaks, cut to control the Basin Complex fire.
Constant monatoring of the rivers, concerned about debris and flooding on the Big Sur, Carmel and Aroyo Seca rivers.
Culverts being watched closely to prevent flooding.
Watch for debris in rivers and creeks, stay on top of it! Unclog it if you can! Be careful! Stay safe!
Watch the weather, check your drainage situation before it rains!
.5" rainfall per. hour threshhold is your indicator of impending floods if you live on a flood plain or in a deep canyon.
