Inventory. An itemized list of water resource <br />characteristics, traits, and properties. <br /> <br />2. Investigation. An examination and interpretation of <br />water resource issues using inventories and assessments as <br />sources of information. <br /> <br />3. Overview. A broad or general comprehensive view. <br /> <br />4. Reconnaissance. An exploratory or preliminary sur- <br />vey, inspection, or examination made to obtain information. <br /> <br />5. Survey. To inspect carefully; to scrutinize. <br /> <br />2531.1 - Levels of Water Resource Investigations. There are <br />three levels of water resource investigations: <br /> <br />1. Levell is a reconnaissance investigation. It uti- <br />lizes available water resource information and data. lbe <br />inventory investigation provides quantitative and quali- <br />tative extrapolations and inferences of water resource <br />suitability, capability, and response. Use this level of <br />investigation for Forest planning. <br /> <br />2. Level 2 is a survey level investigation. Data and <br />information are area specific to watersheds and are col-. <br />lected and combined with available data. The analysis and <br />interpretation of the data quantifies water resource avail- <br />ability, potential, and response to management. Use the <br />Level 2 investigations for evaluating specific resource man- <br />agement opportunities, for addressing area wide management <br />prescriptions, and for assessing the effects of cumulative <br />management practices. <br /> <br />3. Level 3 is a study investigation. Water resource <br />data and information are collected for a small area or point. <br />Use data to evaluate and assess project level issues, con- <br />cerns, and opportunities. <br /> <br />Applying the appropriate level of investigation maximizes <br />the usefulness of the collected and extrapolated data. <br /> <br />*-FSM 2/~6 AMENV 47-* <br />
