Abstract :
The purpose of this project is to produce an assessment report and database of indicators available to the public, further develop and refine CWP’s State of the Watershed model, as well as extend this work to other networks to enhance capacity on watershed health assessment in the region. The project also seeks to publish more widely the results and experience to date, in order to further extend the reach of this work, and to engage and mentor university students and partners from other local watershed groups on these important science-based and participatory research methods.
