Mechanics and modelling of hydrological processes for nonpoint source pollution management

长期的研究目标是开发非点源污染的实用管理工具，包括营养管理和水源保护，以及确定污染物的来源及其时空分布。开发这种工具需要定量描述可变的源区及其与流域土壤、土地利用、地形和降水特征的关系。拟议的研究将涉及发展的方法，这将导致现实的磷和氮指数的发展，液体肥料的土地应用的回缩估计，确定污染源区域和选择最佳的管理方法，以保持和/或提高溪流水质。

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..
