The ability of 5 Best Management Practice (BMP) allocation methods that consider 8 pre-selected BMPs, to control 4 Nonpoint Source (NPS) constituents in watersheds with contrasting land covers, is investigated. range from random selection BMPs on randomly selected sites, optimized at locations, and the covers natural ultra-urban. optimization rely Genetic Algorithms (GA), a method uses expert systems also applied. Watershed hydrologic water quality response models are developed, using Soil...
Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution is a pressing issue worldwide, especially in the Chesapeake Bay, where sediment, nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) are most critical water quality concerns. Despite significant efforts by federal, state, local governments, improvement has been limited. Investigating spatial distribution of NPS hotspots can help understand pollutant output guide control measures. We hypothesize that as land cover changes from natural (e.g., forestland) agricultural to suburban...
Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution is a severe problem in the U.S. and worldwide. Best management practices (BMPs) have been widely used to control stormwater reduce NPS pollution. Previous research has shown that socio-economic factors affect households’ adoption of BMPs, but few studies quantitatively analyzed spatio-temporal dynamics household BMP under different conditions. In this paper, diverse regression approaches (linear, LASSO, support vector, random forest) were on ten-year data...
