Watershed scale[edit]

These tools might assist in proposing policies and management programs focusing on conservation and preservation; effect of land use on environmental resources.

  • Municipal stormwater risk management framework
  • Sourcewater protection water quality risk assessment for climate change - handbook/worksheet
  • Westhoff water balance model
  • Wetland hydrologic analysis tool

Subwatershed scale[edit]

These tools help assess the effect of land use scenarios and urban stormwater practices on different objectives of water balance, stream erosion, water quality , temperature, baseflow, flooding, fisheries, aquatic life. They may assist in choosing preferred strategies based on public acceptance, cost, technical feasibility, ability to meet goals and objectives, potential to enhance environmental impact of strategy on future land uses.

  • Macroeconomic study
  • Risk and return and investment tool
  • Thermal stream index
  • Hotspot identification tool-sediment
  • Natural assets project

Environmental impact report/ subdivision plan scale[edit]

If your seeking to summarize findings of watershed, subwatershed plans and done on a tributary subcatchment boundary.
