     "text": "Monument and Fountain Creeks and their respective watersheds, located in the Front Range of Colorado, serve as important drainages for surface runoff, waste-water treatment operations, and as a water supply for downstream agricultural needs. As population growth continues in these watersheds, more and more pressures are being applied to the receiving streams, especially Fountain Creek."

     "text": "Communities downstream from Colorado Springs, from Fountain to Pueblo and as distant as La Junta, are concerned about water-quality impacts to Fountain Creek from urbanization. Elevated sediment, bacteria, and selenium loads affect municipal treatment processes, and biota. Increased flows in Fountain Creek, as a result of population growth in Colorado Springs, also alter stream morphology especially during periods of storm runoff."
