Forests to Faucets 2.0 builds upon the national Forests to Faucets (2011) by updating its base data and adding new and forecasted threats (e.g., climate change). The purpose of this project is to quantify, rank, and illustrate the geographic connection between forests and other natural cover (private and public), surface drinking water supplies, and the populations that depend on them–the ecosystem service of water supply. The Forests to Faucets 2.0 project also evaluates a watersheds’ natural ability to produce clean water and quantifies the threats to watersheds from land use change, wildfire, invasive pests, and future stresses such as climate change induced changes in hydrologic systems. Using data from a variety of existing sources and maps generated through GIS analyses, the project uses maps and statistics to describe the relative importance of private forests and National Forest System lands to surface drinking water supplies across the United States. The data produced by this assessment provides information needed to identify opportunities for water market approaches or schemes based upon payments for environmental services (PES).
