- Abstract:
- ... Rainfall characteristics can be a major factor influencing the ability of best management practices to reduce nutrient loss from agricultural lands to receiving waterbodies. The goal of this study was to examine how rainfall characteristics impacted NO₃ – N concentrations in a tailwater recovery (TWR) ditch implemented at a farm within the Porter Bayou watershed in Mississippi, USA. We used a meth ...

- Abstract:
- ... Best management practices (BMPs) are conservation efforts implemented to address environmental challenges associated with agricultural production. One such BMP, a tailwater recovery (TWR) system, has a dual purpose aimed at mitigating solids and nutrient losses from agricultural landscapes and creating an additional surface water source for irrigation. This study analyzes the costs of using five T ...

- Abstract:
- ... An On-Farm Water Storage (OFWS) system is a structural Best Management Practice (BMP) that prevents downstream nutrient loading by capturing irrigation tailwater and storm runoff from agricultural fields. OFWS systems, as a result, also act as a source of water for irrigation with the potential to recycle nutrients captured in runoff events. A monitoring study was conducted for an OFWS system loca ...

- Abstract:
- ... Following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in April 2010, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) established and funded the Migratory Bird Habitat Initiative (MBHI), with the goal of improving and increasing wetland habitats on private lands to benefit wintering and migrating waterbirds displaced from oil-impacted coastal wetlands. The NRCS and conservation par ...

- Abstract:
- ... To enhance nitrogen transformations and increase agricultural nitrogen removal, best management practices (BMPs) need to focus on identifying and improving mechanistic removal pathways. Best management practices can be implemented which favor denitrification, the single most effective removal pathway in the nitrogen cycle. Low-grade weirs in agricultural drainage ditches provide conditions conduci ...

- Abstract:
- ... The Mississippi River Healthy Basins Initiative calls for best management practices (BMPs) that actively avoid, control, and trap non-point source pollutants such as sediments and nutrients. Typical edge-of-field practices of forested riparian buffers and native warm season grass buffers control and trap sheet flow surface runoff. Slotted inlet pipes are drainage water management structures that t ...

- Abstract:
- ... Management of agriculture-induced water quality problems requires an integrated approach involving selection of the most suitable and economical Best Management Practices (BMP). Vegetation Buffer Strips (VBS), one of the commonly used off-field structural BMPs, when designed and placed correctly, can significantly improve the water quality. However, VBS takes up agricultural land used for crop pro ...

- 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 ...
