Abstract
The Forest Service (FS) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) have developed standard protocols for delineating watersheds, analyzing hydrologic condition for watersheds and preparing a watershed case file. These protocols provide a national approach for determining hydrologic condition of watersheds administered by BLM and FS . The results are used (1) in preparing Forest Service land management plans, and (2) to provide part of the rationale for listing or delisting waters that have impaired water quality per Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and to prioritize watersheds for treatment.
