CARES has developed a Watershed Evaluation and Comparison Tool for
watershed-based data visualization and assessment. The tool generates reports for
a number of factors related to watershed condition, presenting the information in
tables, charts and interactiver maps.
A basic watershed profile can be generated for a single watershed, or for multiple watersheds for comparison purposes.
An indicator report (for nutrient management) provides a special topic-based report. Watershed reference maps are also available
with each report, or separately under the printable maps section.
This project was funded in part by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
