This section includes a discussion of the principal issues and concerns with regard to overall watershed condition in the Pit RCD, together with management actions to address those concerns. The list of issues and concerns is based on the results of the Pit River Watershed Assessment, Pit RCD Watershed Management Strategy, other related studies and reports, and input from the watershed community. Although watershed issues and concerns are discussed separately in the sections that follow, it should be recognized that the factors impacting overall watershed condition are highly interrelated (e.g. water quantity affects water quality, juniper expansion affects water quantity, and stream channel stability affects aquatic habitat quality).
