The article introduces a new way to classify watersheds based on their carrying capacity score, which helps determine how they should be managed. The researchers used a method called Classification Interval approach to develop this classification index. They found that watersheds with carrying capacity scores between 50 and 90 should be maintained, those between 90 and 110 should be improved, and those between 110 and 150 should be restored. This new index provides a more accurate way to prioritize watershed management efforts.
