Water Quality and Ecology Research : News & Events

April 16 – 20, 2007, Dr. Ronald L. Bingner (Water Quality & Ecology Research Unit and Watershed Physical Processes Research Unit, National Sedimentation Laboratory) hosted Fred Theurer and Quan Quan of USDA-NRCS, Beltsville, Maryland; Dan Moore of USDA-NRCS, Portland, Oregon; Frank Geter of USDA-NRCS, Ft. Collins, Colorado; and Olaf David and George Leavesly, Colorado State University, Ft. Collins, Colorado. The visitors are cooperating with National Sedimentation Laboratory personnel in the development of enhanced features within the USDA AGNPS watershed model that will integrate NRCS information technology necessary to create model parameters from NRCS databases and display simulation study results for straightforward watershed application and analysisThis work is important for the development of technology critical to NRCS national needs in watershed conservation planning such as the CEAP project.
