Uncertainty Analysis of the Performance of a System of Best Management Practices for Achieving Phosphorus Load Reduction to Surface Waters
… algal blooms suggests an inadequate phosphorus management system that results in excessive loads to the lake. In response, Canadian and United States’ governments have issued a new management objective, a 40% reduction in total and dissolved reactive phosphorus loads relative to 2008. To provide …

A systems approach to evaluate water quality oriented land management plans
… was developed to evaluate and optimize cropland Best Management Practices (BMPs). The approach consisted of using the Finite Element Storm Hydrograph Model (FESHM) to simulate runoff and sediment yield from a series of design storms with known return periods. The design storm simulations were the …

Loggers' perceptions of the costs of best management practices on timber harvesting operations in Virginia
Water quality practices can have a financial impact on the cost of harvesting timber in Virginia. Two hundred seventy-two timber harvesters were surveyed to determine the estimated cost for implementing best management practices (BMPs) on harvested sites. BMPs analyzed in this study are pre-harvest …
