F orest insects and diseases have widespread ecological and economic impacts on the forests of the United States and may represent the most serious threats to the Nation’s forests (Logan and others 2003, Lovett and others 2016, Tobin 2015). U.S. law therefore authorizes the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service to “conduct surveys to detect and appraise insect infestations and disease conditions and man-made stresses affecting trees and establish a monitoring system throughout the forests of the United States to determine detrimental changes or improvements that occur over time, and report annually concerning such surveys and monitoring” (FHP 2020). Insects and diseases cause changes in forest structure and function, species succession, and biodiversity, which may be considered negative or positive depending on management objectives (Edmonds and others 2011). Nearly all native tree species of the United States are affected by at least one injury-causing insect or disease agent, with exotic agents on average considerably more severe than native ones (Potter and others 2019a). Additionally, the genetic integrity of several native tree species is highly vulnerable to exotic diseases and insects (Potter and others 2019b).

The Forest to Faucets version 2.0 (F2FV2) assessment uses geospatial modeling at the 12-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC12) scale in the conterminous United States to identify watersheds that are most important to surface drinking water, the ability to produce clean water, forest ownership (public or private), and potential threats to water yield from insects and diseases, wildfire, land use or climate change. F2FV2 updates a 2011 version of the project (Forests to Faucets version 1.0). Results, presented by regions administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, indicate that watersheds in the Eastern, Southern, and Pacific Southwest Regions were most important for surface drinking water. Watersheds in the Southern, Pacific Northwest, and Pacific Southwest Regions had the highest ability to produce clean water based on the five biophysical characteristics evaluated. The Pacific Southwest, Pacific Northwest, and Northern Regions had the most watersheds at the highest threat of wildfire as well as the most watersheds at the highest threat of insects and disease. For all future climate and population growth scenarios, the Southern, Pacific Southwest, and Eastern Regions had the most watersheds at the highest threat of land use change, while the Pacific Northwest and Southern Regions had the most watersheds at the highest threat of decreases in water yield because of climate change. F2FV2 provides a user-friendly tool and relatively high spatial resolution benchmark dataset that forest managers can use to evaluate the effect of their management on the water supply, and that water consumers can use for considering potential threats upstream.
