Subwatershed Assessments (SWAs)
A subwatershed assessment (SWA) is a detailed evaluation of how much stormwater and pollutants such as sediment and nutrients run off the land within an area of interest. A SWA uses a fine-scale model that can predict runoff down to the field level. Specialized software tools and field assessments then can help identify the best pollutant-reducing practices to implement and where they will have the most impact. After review with local landowners, the end result is a series of detailed maps showing the recommended practices, and a set of actions, costs, and pollutant reductions expected.
