Nevada Springs Restoration Guide Nevada Springs Restoration Workbook is a comprehensive guide for improving the sustainability of Nevada's springs, which are crucial ecosystems that provide water for ranches, farms, and support unique plants and animals. The book outlines suggestions for improving spring care and is intended for public and government springs stewards throughout the state. The approach and methods proposed apply directly to Nevada springs but may also be useful for springs stewardship in most arid states and regions. The Nevada Springs Conservation Plan summarizes the current conditions, threats, and actions needed to conserve Nevada's springs. The handbook suggests a rationale, methods, and approaches for achieving desired conditions and goals for springs management, recognizing the primacy of stewardship rights and goals. The approach can be used to address issues such as defining desired conditions, identifying the problem, determining its severity, solving it, and maintaining the desired condition. If broadly adopted, this approach will greatly improve the ecological health and integrity of these highly valued resources and our natural heritage in general.
