• Step 1: What is the scale of intervention?
  • Field Sites(s) (<1000 km2)
    • Go to step 2
  • Landscape/Basin (>1000 km2)
    • Go to "Freshwater Health Index"


  • Step 2: What is the type of intervention?
  • Protection / Protected Area
    • Need to establish benefits from on-going protection?
      • If yes, go to "Modeling"
      • If no, go to step 3
  • Restoration of Ecosystem
    • Go to step 3
  • Management of landscape
    • Production landscape is in a water scarce area?
      • If yes, go to "Baseflow"
      • If no, go to step 3


  • Step 3: Which ecosystem is the focus of intervention?
  • Forests or woodlands
    • If focused on land cover change, Go to "Soil Erosion"
    • If including land management, Go to "Nutrient Loads"
    • If cloud forest, Go to "Baseflow"
  • Wetlands or floodplains
    • If focused on physical change, Go to "Water Quality"
    • If focused on habitats or species, Go to "Biodiversity"
  • Rivers, Streams or Lakes
    • If focused on physical change, Go to "Surface Water Quantity"
    • Also, Go to "Water Quality"
    • If focused on habitats or species, Go to "Biodiversity"
