The Environment Protection Agency (EPA) and other water resource agencies have identified the need to develop watershed-scale assessments to evaluate progress in meeting the goals of the Clean Water Act. The forestry community has been a leader in developing these watershed evaluation techniques. While watershed-scale monitoring, adaptive management assessments, and modelling combinations are all used effectively in the US, this paper emphasizes realistic modelling. Models can be used to test…Â
