Models play an important role in the estimation of nonpoint source (NPS) pollution severity and in the identification of NPS problem areas. The use of these models has been severely limited because of the data and expertise required to operate these models. The integration of NPS pollution models with geographic information systems (GIS) can likely overcome these problems. Three NPS pollution models that were integrated with a GIS were used to simulate a watershed response to a series of rainfall events. The simulated responses were compared with observed runoff and sediment data. The simulated results matched the observed results reasonably well considering model inputs were estimated from base GIS data.
* The GRI is a worldwide, multi-stakeholder network which has pioneered the development of the world's most widely used sustainability reporting framework. * The "Structured Feedback Process" is also detailed in Thurm 2006. * The table is entitled "Summary of Trends for Key Army Environmental Performance Metrics (FY04 to FY07). * A draft was prepared as a possible way the Army may formulate a strategy for sustainability. As a draft, references made to specifics herein may not be part of the final construction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
