Gallatin National Forest Watershed Vulnerability Assessment, Northern Region (R1) Watershed Condition Framework The second step in the WVA assessment is the WCF dataset. This dataset identifies the level of human disturbance on the landscape. All of the GNF subwatersheds analyzed through this process were determined to be either Functioning Properly or Functioning at Risk (Figure 7). Because of this determination, some of the potentially more important watersheds may have been de-emphasized and future runs will need to confirm and/or modify this as needed. Figure 7.
