Watershed assessments

Watershed assessments are evaluations of how well a water system, like a stream or river, is functioning and being protected. They analyze factors such as water quality, habitat health, land use, and pollution sources within a specific area of land that drains into a common water body. The goal is to identify problems, such as pollution or habitat loss, and prioritize actions to restore and maintain healthy water resources. These assessments help guide decisions for sustainable land and water management, ensuring clean water, wildlife conservation, and community well-being.
