EIMS SUMMARY REPORT

Entry ID:  1754 Version:  1.0
Title:  INDEX OF AGRICULTURAL RUNOFF POTENTIAL (BASED UPON NITROGEN, SEDIMENT AND PESTICIDE)(1990-1995) (IWI VERSION 1.2) (IWI) VERSION 1.0

Abstract:  
A composite index was constructed to show which watersheds had the greatest potential for possible water quality problems from combinations of pesticides, nitrogen, and sediment. Watersheds with the highest composite score have a greater risk of water quality impairment from agricultural sources than watersheds with low scores. Watersheds could be ranked high because of a very high ranking of a single component, or moderately high rankings from two or more components. Description of the Data Layer: The composite indicator was constructed by ranking watersheds for each of the three components -- potential pesticide runoff, potential nitrogen runoff, and potential in-stream sediment loads -- and then summing the rankings for each watershed. This procedure weighted each of the three components equally. Individual maps for the three components are shown in (IWI version 1.2) (IWI) Version 1.0

Additional Information:  Efforts will be made to include additional vulnerability components for rangeland, pastureland, and forest land. These components are not currently included.
