The social, cultural and economic structure of the rural communities within the watershed has its roots in the land. Livestock grazing is among the oldest lands uses in the region. Intertwined with the economic aspect of livestock operations are the lifestyles and culture that co-evolved with Western ranching. Irrigation from streams and rivers has made intensive agriculture possible on some of the private lands in the valleys and foothills. Much of the valley land produces forage crops such as alfalfa and hay to maintain livestock when they are not grazing on federal rangelands.
