Table 1.

Dam and landscape variables in the HydrAP decision tree.

Variable Description Source
Dam/Zmax Ratio of dam height and maximum lake depth at approximate full pool Dam: National Anthropogenic Barrier Database (NABD) (Cooper et al. 2017)
Lake depth: NLA and online lake records
Ag+Urb Ws Aggregated land use classes summing total agriculture and urban development class proportions in the lake watershed (Ws) USGS National Land Cover Database (NLCD) 2006, 2011
Irrig Ag Adj Estimated extent of irrigated agriculture based on satellite-derived estimates of vegetative vigor, NLCD land cover, and US Dept. of Agriculture irrigation statistics. Proportion is estimated in the lake adjacent direct drainage area (Adj) Brown and Pervez 2014
Ag Drain Adj Estimated artificial drainage on agricultural lands based on soil drainage (SSURGO), crop productivity surveys (US Dept. of Agriculture), and NLCD land cover. Proportion is estimated in the lake adjacent direct drainage area (Adj) Christensen et al. 2013; Vanderhoof et al. 2017
Urb Adj Proportions of total urban development classes in the lake direct drainage area (Adj) USGS National Land Cover Database (NLCD) 2006, 2011
Topographic relief Difference in maximum elevation in the watershed and lake elevation USGS National Elevation Dataset
