Projects at Rural GIS Sites
Application of NOAA’s Nonpoint Source Pollution Tool
RGIS Regional Office: Pacific Northwest, Central Washington University
Project Dates: 2006/2007
Synopsis:
NOAA developed the Nonpoint Source Pollution and Erosion Comparison Tool (N-SPECT) to help land managers and local planners predict potential water quality impacts to rivers and streams from nonpoint source pollution and erosion. We will test N-SPECT in at least one jurisdiction that is anticipating conversion of land cover. We will assess the ease of application and train local planners on how to interpret the output for resource management purposes.
