Watershed data presented here were collected on three Interior Northwest watersheds that were harvested and then burned using prescribed fire. The three watersheds (Hermada, Slate Point, and Round Up) are located in Idaho and Montana as illustrated in the diagram below.

The data were used to test the prediction accuracy of a modified WEPP developed for forests and a geospatial version of WEPP called GeoWEPP Arc X. The project is presented in detail in the Masters thesis Accuracy Assessment of WEPP-based Erosion Models for Harvested and Burned Forest Watersheds.

The data for each watershed include a general site description, soil erodibility information, climate data, and watershed outputs of runoff and sediment.
