HE.D.3 - Number and percentage of creeks and lakes in good or excellent health

Description

This performance card shows the percentage of creeks and lakes in good or excellent health. This measure is calculated every two years using the monitoring data from the Watershed Protection Department's Environmental Integrity Index (EII) and Austin Lakes Index (ALI) programs. These programs monitor and assess the chemical, biological, and physical integrity of Austin’s creeks and lakes. This provides information about characteristics like water temperature and clarity, the presence or absence of various pollutants, and levels of bacteria and algae.
