Index values are based on a variety of data sources, calculations Forest South Fork Crow R and scientific approaches. Each index is scored on a scale from 0 to 100, with 0 being Minn R-Granite Falls the least desirable result or condtion to 100 being the best existing condition or most Pasture/Hay desirable result. Major watershed scale rankings may mask the range of conditions Cultivated Crops Minn R-Shakopee that occur at more local scales. A high score may indicate the least impacted condition 0 2.51.25 Miles Minn R-Mankato in Minnesota, not necessarily a healthy condition. COMPONENT SCORES

This gives comparatively high scores for outstate Minnesota. Viewing input data is necessary to evaluate possible watershed scale concerns. November, 2011
