Robinne et al.’s (2019) Source Exposure Index (SEI) for Alberta (a) and wildfire exposure index for forested watersheds (b). In both figures, a higher value indicates higher exposure. The SEI is a spatial index that assesses source exposure based on the availability and demand for water in a watershed, the watershed’s forest cover, and the danger of a fire occurring in that area.
