The study area was defined by GBNEP and includes the entire Galveston Bay drainage area with the exception of the Lake Houston and Lake Livingston watersheds. The primary elements for the NPS analysis included watershed hydrology, NPS load estimates, ranking of subwatersheds, upper watershed influences, and mapping.
