The Pemigewasset River WatershedStudy Area Co-occurrence Analysis

This Co-occurrence map was developed by assigning one point for each natural feature identified in the Habitat and Catchment Hydrology Analyses.Tier 2 Habitat, HUC 12 Tier 1 Water Quality and Catchment Tier 3 each had a value of two. Tier 1 Habitat and Catchment Tier 2 had a value of three.Catchment Tier 1 had a value of four points.These layers were placed atop one another then the values for each cell were added up.
