Resource Profile |
RWA Resource Profiles organize multiple forms of information from
many sources to aid local conservationists, landowners and others in
identifying conservation opportunities on the watershed level.
|
The resource profile compiles the best readily-available data,
including:
• A
general description of the location, size, and political units
associated with the watershed.
• Physical description including land
use/land cover, precipitation,
common resource areas, stream flow data, land capability class, etc.
• Known resource concerns.
• Census and social data.
•
Status and history of resource
conservation in the watershed.
• References
and data sources.

| Assessment Matrix |
|
The Assessment Matrix summarizes, in tabular form, current resource
conditions and related maintenance costs. It also summarizes desired
resource conditions, conservation opportunities and related installation
and maintenance costs, qualitative effects on primary resource concerns,
and potential funding sources for conservation implementation.
|
|
The Assessment Matrix contains:
• Current Conditions Table—detailing the current level of
conservation in the watershed.
• Future Conditions Table—identifying appropriate suites of conservation
practices needed to deal with the primary resource concerns for each
land use.
• Summary Table—summarizing the various costs associated with the
Resource Management Systems developed in the previous step. |
