Mechanics and modelling of hydrological processes for nonpoint source pollution management

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Long-term research goals have been to develop practical management tools for nonpoint source pollution including nutrient management and source water protection, and the identification of sources of pollutants and their spatial and temporal distribution. Development of such tools requires quantitative description of variable source areas and their relationship with soil, land use, topographic and precipitation characteristics of the watershed. The proposed research will involve development of approaches which will lead to the development of realistic phosphorus and nitrogen indices, estimation of set backs for land application of liquid manure, identification of pollution source areas and selection of best management practices for maintenance and/or enhancement of stream water quality..
