Rapid Watershed Assessments for the Driftless Area

Rapid Watershed Assessment (RWA) is a relatively new NRCS initiative. A RWA provides initial information to help determine where conservation investments would best address the concerns of landowners, counties, watershed groups, and other stakeholders. These assessments help landowners and local leaders set priorities and determine the best actions to achieve their goals. Rapid watershed assessments provide a foundation for watershed or area planning. These assessments are valuable for Farm Bill program delivery and provide useful information for county, watershed, and regional planners.
