In the Spring of 1989, I visited Alkali Creek, in western Colorado, accompanied by a colleague, a biologist who worked
for a federal agency. My objective was to observe the watershed restoration project that had been accomplished in the 1960s
by the Forest Service. Eventually, I published a paper entitled:
"Management of baseflow augmentation: A review," in which I documented this and other
similar projects of watershed restoration.
After we had observed several of the more than one hundred check dams that were still standing,
and having suffered the inclement weather for a couple of days,
my colleague said to me, pointedly: "Victor, as I can see, the only difference between you and me
is that you make three-thousand dollars more."
