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.
