Dear authors,
Thank you for your responses and efforts to address the reviewer comments on earlier versions of this manuscript. The paper has been improved as a result and is now ready for final publication. I have some minor technical corrections to suggest:

On P. 10, line 263 of the marked up version, it says "as the name suggests". The name is no longer given, just the symbol, so perhaps this statement should be removed.

On P. 9, line 246, wetland density seems to be defined as the number of wetlands within the watershed, but should be defined as number of wetlands per unit area (i.e. P. 21, line 611).

Typo on P. 26, line 751 in the spelling of Baulch.

In the acknowledgements, you might mention the Global Water Futures Program, for which the CFREF grant was awarded, and since both CFREF and Prairie Water are noted here.

Note that the map in Fig. 1 includes a north arrow pointing up, but the direction of north varies in the map projections for both the main and inset maps. (The same may apply to Fig. 5.)
