Tipping Points & Indicators is the first facilitated web-based program that allows planners to work with their community to develop watershed action plans. Geospatial analysis tools help communities interpret complex scientific models, prioritize their natural resource assets, and explore the relationships between land use and water quality. These tools enhance the collaborative process that helps communities protect their natural resources through custom watershed action plans.
