Cache River
• Delta – bottomland hardwood forests
• Agricultural land• 2 main channels of
watershed• Cache & Bayou DeView
![Page 3: Cache River Monitoring 11-6000](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022050909/5681503c550346895dbe3a86/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Cache River
• 95% of watershed in NE AR• Impairment turbidity, total dissolved solids, and
lead. – Agriculture activities the major source
• Upper Cache highly channelized• Lower Cache not channelized – Except for last 7 miles
• Forms Big Woods connected to White River bottomland hardwood forests

Preliminary results
• Nutrient spikes following applications and rainfall events
• Sediment and nutrients tend to decrease at downstream sites– Cache and Bayou De View channels– Benefit from wetlands and natural meanders
• Established wetlands should reduce nutrient and sediment loading– Data from drought year (2012) and wet year (2013) difficult
to interpret
