Working to protect the Mississippi River and its watershed in the Twin Cities area

Watershed assessment tool available online

The Minnesota DNR is now offering a web-based tool for resource managers and others interested in the ecological health of Minnesota’s watersheds. It’s called the Watershed Assessment Tool (WAT).

Five components are used to describe the similarities and differences between watersheds: hydrology, connectivity, biology, geomorphology and water quality.
