Best management practices are often used to mitigate nutrient exports from agricultural systems. The effectiveness of these measures can vary depending on the natural attributes of the land in question (e.g., soil type, slope, and drainage class). In this paper we use a Bayesian Network to combine experiential data (expert opinion) and experimental data to compare farm-scale management for diff...

Appropriate data management as the basis of effective performance reporting is crucial if sector institutions are to track whether they achieve their objectives. This paper shows how a post process of readily available data to construct water poverty maps can be used to identify effectively the most water poor communities, and thus improve the targeting of sector development policies and projec...

This guidance has been developed by integrating experience gleaned from field monitoring activities conducted by members of ASCE’s Urban Water Resource Research Council and through the development of the ASCE/EPA National Stormwater Best Management Practices Database. The manual is intended to help achieve stormwater BMP monitoring project goals through the collection of more useful and represe...

Coastal ecosystems are vulnerable due to watershed sediment and nutrient loads. In this study, the hydrology water quality of two coastal watersheds, Wolf River (WRW) Jourdan (JRW), were assessed using Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). Model performance evaluation was performed coefficient determination (R2) Nash–Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE). After model calibration validation, effectiveness pon...
