Description
The aim of this project was to consolidate current scientific knowledge with a view to developing a spatially referenced tool to predict diffuse sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorus exports at the farm and watershed scale.
Objective(s)
- Calibrate and validate a hydrological forecasting model for surface runoff, erosion, and phosphorus and nitrogen export rates based on hydrometric monitoring of small agricultural watersheds in Québec
- Update and develop algorithms to predict phosphorus and nitrogen flows at the experimental plot level
- Program a geolocalized tool to predict sediment and nutrient loss at the farm and watershed levels
From 2015 to 2018
