Framework / Assessment Indicator framework for stand level evaluation and monitoring of environmentally sustainable forest management Summary Most forests and rangelands do not have channels or drains, except associated with roads. If roads are present and have in-board ditches and other devices for diverting water, then this indicator is relevant for those areas. Dievrting naturally flowing water can concentrate flows, causing geomorphic issues (e.g., stream channelization), or remove flows, desiccation.
