Abstract: Procedures that can characterize spatial correlation and interpolate values at unknown locations can be valuable in capturing spatial trends, may increase sampling accuracy, and reduce error. This study sought to compare ...

Abstract: Most widely used nonpoint source models associate pollutant loads almost exclusively with land use via pollutant export coefficients and some kind of runoff coefficient. Not surprisingly, the range of management options ...

Abstract: The Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) method is a widely used empirical rainfall-runoff equation. Although the physical basis of the method has been debated, several researchers have suggested that it can be ...

Abstract: The most common form of onsite domestic wastewater treatment in the United States is the septic system. Although the design of these systems has been well established, no systematic evaluation of septic system performance ...

Abstract: Riparian buffers are commonly promoted to protect stream water quality. A common conceptual assumption is that buffers “intercept” and treat upland runoff. As a shift in paradigm, it is proposed instead that riparian buffers ...
