Lessons and lab exercises were developed that illustrate techniques for delineating watersheds and drainages using topographic maps and digital elevation models. These exercises include techniques for visualizing and summarizing properties of watersheds such as longitudinal profiles, cross section, and land cover. Additional exercises covering the basics of geographic information systems and the use of online and webapps are being developed.

This worksheet accompanies a report, "Factors Affecting Sediment Yield and Measures for the Reduction of Erosion and Sediment Yield", and with the report can be used to estimate sediment yield from watersheds. The method is relatively simple, low-tech, and has been recently validated.

This is a manual that accompanies a worksheet that can be used to estimate sediment yield from watersheds. Together, the report and the worksheet constitute a low-tech yet recently validated, cost effective water quality model.
