1. Cost-effective BMP placement: optimization versus targeting

Author:
Veith, T.L.; Wolfe, M.L.; Heatwole, C.D.

best management practices; agricultural watersheds; pollution control; nonpoint source pollution; algorithms; cost effectiveness; watershed management; sediment yield; water erosion; geographic information systems; agricultural land; cost benefit analysis; Virginia
Abstract:
... Cost-effectiveness of nonpoint-source pollution reduction programs in an agricultural watershed depends on the selection and placement of control measures within the watershed. Locations for best management practices (BMPs) are commonly identified through targeting strategies that define locations for BMP implementation based on specific criteria uniformly applied across the watershed. The goal of ...

Abstract:
... With best management practices (BMPs) being used increasingly to control agricultural pollutant losses to surface waters, establishing the environmental effectiveness of these practices has become important. Additionally, cost implications of establishing and maintaining environmentally effective BMPs are often a crucial factor in selecting and adopting BMPs. This article considers both water qual ...

3. Evaluation of AnnAGNPS on Mississippi Delta MSEA watersheds

Author:
Yuan, Y.; Bingner, R.L.; Rebich, R.A.

Subject:
watersheds; crop production; crop management; cover crops; winter; pollution control; water pollution; erosion control; water erosion; sediment yield; simulation models; agricultural land; losses from soil; runoff; prediction; best management practices; nonpoint source pollution; Mississippi
Abstract:
... Sediment and its associated pollutants entering a water body can be very destructive to the health of that system. Best Management Practices (BMPs) can be used to reduce these pollutants, but understanding the most effective practices is very difficult. Watershed models are the most cost-effective tools to aid in the decision-making process of selecting the BMP that is most effective in reducing t ...
