Dear Dr. Hazbavi ,

I sent an article. I hope it is useful.

Regards,

Zeinab, the U.S. Environmental Protections Agency has protocols and guidelines for watershed assessment.  You might want to start by visiting this web page: http://water.epa.gov/polwaste/nps/watershed/examples.cfm

Thank you a lot. Ok I will study their methods.

Dear Hazbavi

Dr Mostafazadeh already  have asked a question in the same of yours. There are many strong and useful discussions. I think it be interesting for you.

I hope it be helpful

 Ok. Thank you so much. I refer to link that you sent.

Best Regards

Thank you. these information and links are interesting for me.

You can study abbsolutly and trend health I think.

Controling input and output of watershed system in sediment, water and vegetation balance can be usefull for this control. It can be multi temporal for trend study.

For assessment of landscape ecological health within a watershed you can fallow the attached article below.
