Notice
EPA announces the release of the draft document, Climate and Land Use Change Effects on Ecological Resources in Three Watersheds: A Synthesis Report (External Review Draft) in the Aug 10, 2007 Federal Register Notice. This document is provided for a 30-day public viewing and comment period. Public comments received on the document before Sept 10th will be provided to the external peer reviewers for their consideration. Any comments not received within the requested time period, may not be considered by EPA in the final report.
The purpose of this draft report is to provide a summary of climate change impacts to selected watersheds and recommendations for how to improve the process of conducting watershed assessments in the future.Background
A review of these case studies was conducted by the Global Change Research Program (GCRP) staff to learn effective analytic, project management, and decision support approaches for conducting watershed assessments. This report is a synthesis of what was learned from conducting those three watershed case-study assessments. The report provides a summary of the scientific findings from the three case studies available below and discusses insights gained from a comparison across case studies of the process of conducting watershed assessments and effective ways of improving our capability to support decisions.
