Summary

This metadata record describes three best management practice scenarios for Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Sediment based on information from the National Resource Conservation Service. The potential benefits of agricultural management practices were developed by USDA using estimates of nutrient and sediment reductions from agricultural fields due to the implementation of a suite of Best Management Practices (BMP's) (USDA, 2012). Estimates of losses were developed by the USDA Conservation Effects Assessment Program (CEAP) using a sampling and modeling approach. Data collected by the National Resources Inventory (NRI) Program were utilized to characterize representative agricultural areas for features such as soils, climate, and topography. [...]

Purpose

This data set was created by the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Hydrologic Systems Team which is part of the USGS National Water Quality Program (NWQP). This effort was undertaken to estimate the management scenarios of best management practices for nitrogen, phosphorous, and sediment for NHDPlusV2 flowline catchments and upstream river networks to support statistical analysis, map display, and model parameterization.
