Description | Watershed Health Monitoring Web (WHMWeb) is part of a new tool, built by the Department of Ecology, that translates statistically robust regional assessments of watershed conditions into metrics diagnostic of watershed health. Metrics are related to variables: a variable is what we study; a metric is how we describe it. WHMWeb is an interface from which users (1) can access a list of sites that have been surveyed and (2) call the associated metrics. Metrics reporting from WHMWeb are specific to fresh flowing surface waters (and environs) of Washington State. This dictionary defines physical habitat metrics reporting from WHMWeb and describes their calculations. It is anticipated that approximately 270 metrics will report from WHMWeb by December 2013. This document was revised or updated in December 2015, October 2016, February 2018, and February 2020. |
