  1. HARDWARE RANCH An Educational Experience For All of Us By Tyler Allen Picture taken from the Hardware Ranch Website

  2. OVERALL OBJECTIVES • For Hardware Ranch • Good maps that would add to the education program at the Ranch • Pertinent information about the surrounding area • For our group • To start from base level and work up to form informational maps • Manipulate maps for information

  3. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITIES • Hardware Ranch Elevation and Watershed Information • Provide interesting and attention grabbing maps of the elevation and watershed. • Provide information on both that will be educational and helpful to Ranch Managers.

  4. DATA GATHERING • DEM’s and topographical maps were pulled from Utah AGRC’s website • Land ownership, huc12 watershed boundaries, and aquifer information pulled from Bear River website • NHDflowlines, springs, and NHDplus information found through Horizon-Systems website • Stream gauge information was pulled from USGS and Precipitation information was pulled from snotel from NRCS.

  5. DR. MAIDMENT MOMENTS Have taken for granted that the computer automatically gives us the information that we want. DEM’s as rasters matched the topographic maps very well. Perfect!!! Noticed channel which would catch spring runoff and would be a significant stream in the spring.

  6. 5,210 ft 7,095 ft Where are the highest and lowest elevations inside the borders of Hardware Ranch? Where is the Elk Meadow?

  7. Where do you think the rivers that run through Hardware Ranch are located?

  8. Which parts of the River will have the most water and which parts will have the least water?

  9. INTERESTING FACTS • Elevations • Highest elevation within main Ranch boundaries is about 7,095 ft • The lowest is about 5,210 ft • The watershed that covers the main Hardware Ranch area has: • A Drainage area of 153 miles squared • 149 miles of Streams and Rivers

  10. FINDING MEAN ANNUAL FLOW • USGS gauging station further downstream than desired. • Mean annual flow of 125 cfs. • Estimated that 66% of that flow is from Hardware Ranch Watershed from NHD flow Data. • Mean annual flow from Hardware Ranch Watershed is 82 cfs.

  11. INTERESTING FACTS USGS Stream gauge station. • Big precip. Big Flow • Smaller precip. Bigger Flow • Average precip yielded averageMAF • Lowest precip. yielded a MAF of 73 cfs • But a higher precip. yielded MAF of 57 cfs snotel precipitation information from NRCS

  12. FURTHER INFORMATION • Would be interesting to look at the temperatures and when they started to rise through the years. • Get daily flows in the river verses average daily temperatures in the spring. • Investigate what effect the flow and the timing of the flow in the river has on the irrigation of the Ranch.
