Sediment Strategy Task 3 Scenarios

Objective 3 of the Sediment Strategy workplan provides for the development of landscape change scenarios to evaluate potential strategies to help achieve sediment reduction objectives. This will be done through the use of the existing HSPF models of the Minnesota River basin, together with other supplementary tools and analyses identified in the Objective 1 and Objective 2 studies. Specifically, the field-scale APEX model (Steglich et al., 2016) will be used to refine expected performance of agricultural BMPs and their representation in the basin-scale HSPF models.
