<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black;background:white">Join us as we discuss the ecological functions of springs and implications for planning spring developments. NRCS’ Spring Development Practice Standard criteria include
conducting a site evaluation of the effects on existing ecological functions of the spring and potential losses from the development, including effects of the impoundment and/or diversion of spring water on local wildlife and wildlife habitat, and the effects
of consumptive use on riparian health and function, stream flow, water temperature, and local aquifer recharge. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
