Grazing and riparian area management for water resource protection is an important issue particularly in western North Dakota with large areas of rangeland and integrated drainage systems. Compared to cultivated land, permanently vegetated areas are less likely to contribute to water resource degradation. Natural systems have been shown to have greater capacity to store and recycle chemicals that often contaminate water resources in cultivated areas. However, over-grazing of rangeland and riparian areas reduces their capacity to protect water resources. Protection of water resources in these areas, as in cultivated areas, depends on maximizing the efficiency of inputs. Recognition that natural variability impacts efficient management in range and riparian areas is just as important as in cultivated areas.
Animal and Range Science includes course-work related to efficient use of rangeland and riparian areas.
