Numerous technical documents that discuss wetland habitat and riparian restoration have been prepared by the Interagency Riparian/Wetland Plant Development Project, USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service Plant Materials Center, Aberdeen, Idaho. A complete collection of documents is available on the NRCS website.
We have posted a few documents that may be of particular use to those working in the Salt Lake Countywide Watershed.

- Wetland Plants - Function, Adaptation, and Relationship to Water Levels
- How to manipulate water in new, restored, or enhanced wetland
