Sediment Vulnerability Variable Group Rankings
Detailed Description
Variable group ranks of 163 basins within 18 regions for all six variable categories: Geomorphic setting (a), modeled water quality (b), hydrologic conditions (c), anthropogenic factors (d), socioeconomic considerations (e), and ecosystems sensitivity (f). Lower numbers indicate the highest ranked basins for sediment vulnerability in each respective region. Hydrologic regions and region names are those from the modified HUC2 dataset.
