Watershed Condition Classification

The Watershed Condition Classification feature class represents data on Watershed Condition on Forest Service lands in HUC12 (from the Watershed Boundary Dataset) watersheds that contain more than 5% USFS ownership. The feature class also includes data on high priority watersheds identified in the Watershed Condition Framework (WCF) process. The WCF data identifies priority watersheds, rationale for their designation as such, and information on Watershed Restoration Action Plans. The data are compiled from the Watershed Condition Assessment and Tracking Tool (WCATT) application within the NRM (National Resource Manager: a suite of applications, each of which collects, stores and reports data for various Forest Service business areas).

流域状况分类要素类（feature class）涵盖了美国林务局（USFS）管辖土地内的流域状况数据，涉及流域为12位水文单元代码（HUC12，源自流域边界数据集（Watershed Boundary Dataset））且美国林务局权属占比超过5%的流域。该要素类同时包含了由流域状况框架（Watershed Condition Framework, WCF）流程识别出的高优先级流域相关数据。流域状况框架数据明确了优先级流域的划定依据，以及流域恢复行动计划（Watershed Restoration Action Plans）的相关信息。本数据集整合自国家资源管理器（National Resource Manager, NRM）内置的流域状况评估与跟踪工具（Watershed Condition Assessment and Tracking Tool, WCATT）应用程序；国家资源管理器是一套应用程序套件，可为美国林务局各业务领域提供数据采集、存储与报告服务。
