Farnsworth, R.

Agricultural best management practices (BMPs) are implemented to abate nonpoint source (NPS) pollution. Evaluation of these conservation practices requires an approach that can account for the complexities of natural systems. The overall goal of this research was to quantify changes in nutrients reaching water sources attributable to the nutrient management portion of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) as implemented in Indiana. A modeling framework, composed of a nonpoint source pollution model (GLEAMS‐NAPRA) and geographic information system (GIS), was used to estimate annual nutrient loading reduction due to nutrient management plans funded by EQIP...
