Research Project:
Development and Testing of Watershed Scale Drainage Water Management Models
Location:
Soil Drainage Research
Project Number: 3604-13000-007-12
Project Type:
Specific C/A
Start Date: Sep 28, 2004
End Date: Aug 31, 2008
Objective:
The broad objectives of this cooperative research project are to improve current models or develop new models that will accurately simulate the effects of drainage water management practices and technologies on hydrology and water quality under Midwest conditions. This will enhance and support the contributions of the ARS Soil Drainage Research Unit to the ARS Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP), The Source Water Protection Initiative (SWPI), and the Agricultural Drainage Management System (ADMS) Task Force goals.
Approach:
Field scale, plot scale, laboratory, and modeling experiments will be conducted to develop the required model input data sets and to investigate the sampling strategies. Hydrologic and water quality simulation models will be calibrated, validated, and applied to test the numerous conservation and drainage management scenarios.
