Item Open Access Valley bottom extraction tool results for Colorado River Basin(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2017) Evangelista, Paul; Woodward, Brian; West, Amanda; Vorster, Tony; Young, Nicholas; Girma, Rebecca; Carroll, Sarah; Vashisht, Amandeep; Tilakamonkul, Chanin; Campbell, Emily; Hatcher, EmmaValley Bottom Extraction Tool (V-BET) was used to spatially define riparian corridors based on topography and vegetation. The V-BET algorithm was applied to all streams and rivers present within the Colorado River Basin (CRB) that were less than or equal to Strahler stream order "3" (USGS National Hydrologic Database, 2016), thereby capturing the extent of valley bottoms and riparian corridors along the majority of large streams and rivers within the expansive CRB network.
