Development of the Internet Watershed Educational Tool (InterWET)
Watershed educational and informational efforts have largely neglected to inform one important group of decision-makers: local government officials. The Internet Watershed Educational Tool (InterWET) was developed to help inform local officials about water resources, using as a case study the Spring Creek Watershed in central Pennsylvania. Utilizing the “microworlds” concept, InterWET consists ...
متن کاملUsing Genetic Algorithms and SWAT to Minimize Sediment Yield From an Agriculturally Dominated Watershed
Non-point source pollution is well recognized as one of the most critical environmental hazards of modern times. In Illinois, non-point source pollution is the major cause of water quality problems, and soil erosion from agricultural lands is the major source of such pollution. Accelerated by anthropogenic activities, soil erosion reduces crop productivity and leads to subsequent problems from ...
متن کاملHydrologic and atrazine simulation of the Cedar Creek Watershed using the SWAT model.
One of the major factors contributing to surface water contamination in agricultural areas is the use of pesticides. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a hydrologic model capable of simulating the fate and transport of pesticides in an agricultural watershed. The SWAT model was used in this study to estimate stream flow and atrazine (2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-s-triazi...
متن کاملAnalyzing streamflow changes: irrigation-enhanced interaction between aquifer and streamflow in the Republican River basin
Groundwater-fed irrigation has altered surface and groundwater interactions in the Republic River basin (RRB) in the midwestern United States, where agriculture heavily depends on irrigation. The decreasing flow trend recorded at the RRB gauging station since the 1950s reflects the synthetical effect of dynamic interactions between surface water and groundwater systems, which has been enhanced ...
متن کاملA Comparison of SWAT and HSPF Models for Simulating Hydrologic and Water Quality Responses from an Urbanizing Watershed
A watershed model can be used to better understand the relationship between land use activities and hydrologic and water quality processes occurring within a watershed. Two different models, SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) and HSPF (Hydrologic Simulation ProgramFortran), were selected in this study to simulate stream flow, sediment, and nutrients loading from the Polecat Creek watershed i...
