This step involves collecting the following information:
| a) | Vegetative modification history of the sub-basin, percent of watershed altered |
| b) | Operational hydrology of reservoirs, diversions, inter- and intra-basin water transfers |
| c) | Presence of significant agricultural return flows |
| d) | Road densities on steep/dissected slopes (potential for converting sub-surface to surface runoff, change in time of concentration of flow) |
| e) | Wildfire locations and history |
| f) | Per cent impervious of urban watershed |
| g) | Stream types |
Information relevant to rural watershed flow-related sediment increases can be compiled using
