How to use EDT in subbasin planning |
|
The assessment phase of subbasin planning is designed to characterize conditions within the subbasin and to identify natural as well as human controlled constraints on performance of focal species. Existing information on physical and biological aspects of the subbasin are assembled to characterize the status of the aquatic species within the watershed. The assessment also serves to set up the analytical framework that allows planners to develop and compare alternative packages of restoration actions. To assist this process, the Council will make available to subbasin planners the EDT model. For most subbasins, the Council will also provide an initial EDT dataset that was developed during the Council's Framework project. A first step in subbasin planning is to review and refine this coarse-screening dataset using local knowledge of the subbasin. The coarse-screening dataset should provide a useful start to subbasin planning, but it is expected that considerable data refinement will occur. This document describes the steps required to refine the EDT input data and develop the analysis needed to characterize habitat in the subbasin with respect to the focal fish species. read full document > (30k PDF)
