InVEST - Nutrient Supply Ratio:
The goal of the InVEST nutrient delivery model is to map watershed nutrient sources and their transport to the stream. This spatial information can be used to assess the nutrient retention service by natural vegetation. The retention service is of a particular interest for surface water quality problems and can be valued in economic or social terms, such as avoiding treatment costs or improving water safety through access to potable water.

The Carbon Storage and Sequestration model is a spatially explicit model that considers that the carbon storage in a plot of land (pixel) depends on four carbon pools: aboveground biomass, underground biomass, soil, and dead organic matter.

For the use of InVEST in WaterProof, a series of parameters are used that constitute the biophysical calculation engine that generates results related to annual and seasonal water yield, sediment delivery rate, nutrient delivery rate, and carbon storage and sequestration.

Resource Investment Optimization System (RIOS) is a model that recommends better locations for protection and restoration activities.
Show moreAqueduct:
Aqueduct is a database created by the World Resource Institute in response to growing concerns from the private sector and other stakeholders about water availability, water quality, climate change, and growing demand. Aqueduct integrates a series of composite indicators that allow us to compare the risks related to water from a macro perspective.
