About

plans stands for Planning Nature-based Solutions. The plans tool is a software designed to help watershed restoration projects. Below is some key ideas about the project.

Applications

It is uses simulation models for mapping hydrological processes such as surface runoff and infiltration for a given area of interest.Those simulation maps then can be used by water resource managers for effectively planning the expansion of Nature-based Solutions for Water (e.g., reforestation and soil-conservation agriculture).
