Nietch, C., Matt Heberling, AND A. Safwat. Watershed modeling and monitoring for assessing nutrient trading viability and increasing the adoption of nutrient management practices. Presented at American Water Works Association Water Sustainability Conference, New Orleans, LA, March 19 - 22, 2017.
Impact/Purpose:
The presentation will provide an overview of the water quality trading feasibility research. The research includes the development and evaluation of innovative modeling and monitoring approaches to manage watersheds for nutrient pollution using a whole systems approach.
Description:
Presentation for the American Water Works Association Water Sustainability Conference. The presentation highlights latest results from water quality trading research conducted by ORD using the East Fork Watershed in Southwestern Ohio as a case study. The watershed has a nutrient enrichment problem that is creating harmful algal blooms in a reservoir used for drinking water and recreation. Innovative modeling and monitoring is combined to understand how to best manage this water quality problem and costs associated with this endeavor.
