## Validation Run Scores and Explanation of Scores

The following tables contain scores for the qualitative scoring element
for each drainage in the validation run of the DSM. Explanations and
justifications are provided for Local Economic Impacts, Ecological
Impairments, Ecological Improvements, Scientific Information, Water
Rights Type, Political Acceptance, Public Acceptance, and Regulatory
Timetable. These alternatives are scored assuming each individual
acquisition provides enough water to meet the associated drainage's
target flows in a below normal water year.

The quantitative scores (NPV of Costs, Unit Costs, Annualized Costs, 2X
Absolute, 2X Distributed, Life Stage, and Flow Value) are reported in
the Validation Run Workbook.
