Typical Use Case

The FHI allows resource managers, engineers, policy makers and others to measure the overall health of a freshwater basin by making clear connections between the ecosystem itself, the benefits it provides to people, and the governance systems in place. Users can utilize the FHI to make the potential trade-offs of policies and actions more explicit, and thereby help direct decisions that maintain healthy watersheds into the future.
