Water is a limited resource in increasingly short supply. The ability of watersheds to provide sufficient water quantity and quality is threatened in the face increasing population growth and human activities in the watershed. In the context of these threats, many governments and organization are increasing efforts in planning and decision making for water resources. Such efforts promote sustainability and efficiency in water use and provide many benefits for society, however, a lack of shared knowledge and useful tools may impair success of such efforts. In order to successfully manage water resources, it is essential to view the landscape and hydrologic system together as an integrated unit (Winter, 2001). Several key elements are important for a successful approach to relating land based sources and water quality management.
