To examine this impact, WPBI (Watershed Performance Benchmarking Index) designed from evaluation 10 for these based Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). then applied with multiple linear regression find relationship coefficients estimating WPBI. Comparing both values, difference validation model. Result: results analysis indicate changing values has a significant Based WPBI, were benchmarked compare under different schemes.
