HUC12WatershedBoundaries

This shapefile includes the indices and prioritization scenarios calculated in Steps 4-7 in the methods. This includes the management benefit index (Step 4), management effort Index (Step 5), management feasibility index (Step 6), and the prioritization scenarios of maximum ecological benefit, maximum benefit with minimum effort, and the comprehensive prioritization (Step 7). All indices and prioritization scenarios are calculated for "managment units" which were the HUC12 watershed designations (Available from http://nhd.usgs.gov/wbd.html). Key fields: Management Benefit Index (BenefitInd). Management Ease Index (MgtEaseInd). Management Effort Index (Effort_Nor). Ecological Benefit (EcBenefit). Maximum Ecological Benefit with Minimum Effort (EcBenEffor). Comprehensive Prioritization (CompRank)
