Data Visualization

The EDT includes many different types of variables for each watershed and several methods for viewing and assessing these variables. For example, the radar plots below provide a quick overview of a specific watershed's condition. A radar plot can be thought of as a histogram that has been bent into a circle with each individual spoke representing a variable. Plots with more green indicate watersheds with less degraded resources or fewer stressors. Each individual spoke displays more green if the value of the variable is good. If the value of a variable is bad for a watershed, it will show less or no green. In the toolkit, the variable descriptions show up in the interactive graph so that the user can tell which variable is represented by each spoke.

The Lower Guyandotte watershed (first plot) exhibits better ecological condition than the Lower Susquehanna watershed (second plot).
