Watershed Characterization

The Watershed Characterization is a detailed examination of the physical and human characteristics of the planning region. Numerous maps and tables support the textual report on what makes up the watershed. Topics include population, geology, vegetation, land use, infrastructure and government, plus many others.

A chapter of the approved Assessment Reports presents the Watershed Characterization for each Source Protection Area.
