Watershed Management Optimization Support Tool (WMOST) Webinar Slides

Watershed Management Optimization Support Tool logoOn February 21, 2018, Naomi Detenbeck of EPA’s National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory presented EPA's Watershed Management Optimization Support Tool (WMOST), which is a publicly available tool that can be used by state and local managers to screen a wide-range of options for cost-effective management of water resources.
