Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pilot Watershed Study was developed to evaluate the impact of conservation systems on soil erosion & degradation, water quality, and crop production in Ontario when implemented on a watershed basis. The component of the Study documented in this report applies to the following objectives: to quantify the loading rates of phosphorus & rates of soil loss over the short & long term at three scales (watershed, field, & plot); to investigate the relationships between farm-soil conservation systems implementation & material transport rates; and to quantify & summarize the benefits to receiving waters of conservation systems adoption at the watershed scale. The report describes the monitoring installations & methods used, and presents & discusses observations with regard to water quality, nutrient loadings, groundwater chemistry, the effect of surface cover, and parameter concentrations & loads at the three scales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pilot Watershed Study is a major sub-program of the Soil & Water Environmental Enhancement Program, aimed at evaluating & demonstrating the benefits of established conservation farming systems at the watershed & smaller scales. The study design relies on direct comparisons between test & control watersheds as the primary method of environmental & agronomic evaluation. This report documents the process in which three pairs of agricultural watersheds in the Lake Erie drainage basin were selected to represent different landscapes with commonly applied conventional farming practices and a farming community open to the adoption of conservation farming systems. It compiles physical & social information on these watersheds to allow for subsequent agronomic & environmental analysis, and monitored meteorological parameters which affect crop performance and watershed hydrology & erosion-transport processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pilot Watershed Study was aimed at assessing & demonstrating the benefits of conservation farm management systems at the watershed scale. This report describes & presents results from the hydrology component of the Study, whose purpose was to monitor runoff & streamflow to determine if the implementation of conservation farm systems had an effect on the overall basin hydrology. Specific objectives of the study were: thorough environmental monitoring & establishment of continuous records of watershed water balance in order to investigate hydrologic processes; determining the flow component of runoff necessary for estimating mass flux of water quality parameters; and investigating the relationships between soil conservation systems and hydrologic response at three scales (watershed, field, and plot).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pilot Watershed Study was developed to evaluate the impact of conservation systems on soil erosion & degradation, water quality, and crop production when implemented on a watershed basis. This report describes & presents results from the modelling component of the Study. Specific objectives of this component were to: develop spatially descriptive erosion & runoff models of the Study sub-watersheds; apply the site-specific models to the evaluation of future soil & environmental benefits relating to various agricultural land management practices; and use the models as tools to aid in the assessment of the erosion & phosphorus runoff processes and the effects of land management upon the runoff processes. The report includes details of the watershed models (GAMES and HSPF) and the model processes, their testing & calibration, and comparison of model results under different scenarios. Conclusions are drawn regarding the utility of the models & their relevance to watershed assessment.

Book excerpt: This is the first in a series of reports concerning digital data assembled during a major component of the Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Program, the Pilot Watershed Study. The purpose of the report is to assess and document the digital data received from the Study which have potential application to the Indicators of Risk of Water Contamination project at the Ontario Land Resources Unit, and which are appropriate for the Unit's database. The report documents the types of digital data available (climate, crops & conservation practices, soils, hydrology, water quality), assesses their spatial & temporal resolution and accuracy, and estimates the degree to which data layers can be integrated.
