Short Description

Watershed characterization is a methodology for assessing and understanding watershed processes at a broad scale. It allows communities to identify and prioritize areas within specific watersheds where aquatic resources can still be successfully restored or protected. To develop the tool, Ecology has been conducting watershed characterization pilot projects, most recently in Clark, Jefferson, and Whatcom counties.

This report was commissioned to interview recent participants in the pilots, evaluate the characterizations, and make recommendations to Ecology on the value of characterizations and any changes needed.
