Agencies, NGOs, universities and consultants have partnered with us to add NetMap's Virtual Watersheds, Smart River Networks and Analysis Tools to their projects in a cost-effective way.
Projects can encompass:
fish habitat typing/modeling- mapping floodplains, terraces, and fans
- channel classification
- identifying biological hotspots
- predicting thermal loading and effects of riparian vegetation or management
- predicting wood recruitment to streams including the effects of forest management scenarios
- mapping erosion source areas - shallow failures, debris flows, surface erosion, gully, and earthflows
- delineating levels of risk between habitats and stressors
- developing sedment budgets (effects of land uses)
- determining highest risk areas for existing and future roads
- identifying locations of the highest combined wildfire-erosion risk, and where they overlap sensitive habitats
- conducting basin assessments/watershed analyses for various objectives including TMDLs, watershed restoration, conservation planning and resource use planning
- and other potential capabilities
Desktop Watershed Analysis
