THE WATERSHED ASSESSMENT TOOL IS
NOW AVAILABLE ON THE MN DNR WEBSITE
www.dnr.state.mn.us/watershed_tool/promo.html
This interactive tool is designed to improve access
to information about Minnesota's natural resources and the ecological health
of our watersheds. Please share this link with others that are
interested in the health of our natural systems.
LOOK FOR THESE SPECIAL FEATURES:
- Text describing the 5 components of watershed
health.
- On-line interactive map that displays 40 GIS data
layers and summarizes information for each major watershed.
- Information and metadata about each of these data
layers
- Downloadable pdf MapBooks for each major watershed
and each
component
Used together, the map and the text will lead to a
better understanding of the components, their connection to each other and
the complexity of interactions between them.
Thank you for your interest in the ecological health
of Minnesota’s watersheds! Comments or questions can be directed to
Beth Knudsen with Ecological Resources, Stream Habitat Program.
Regarding controlling aquatic invasive
species, the Yellow Medicine River Watershed District Board
