Participants will learn how field conditions and the timing of field-management activities affect the quantity and quality of runoff from agricultural fields.
The presenters will share their experiences from more than a decade of small-scale field-edge monitoring in Wisconsin and neighboring states. The webinar will include information on:
- Matching data quality and monitoring intensity with study objectives
- Challenges of change detection and alternative benefits of edge-of-field monitoring data
- Equipment selection, monitoring challenges
- Standard operating procedures used and working with fine-scale time-series data
- Sampling techniques
- Precipitation-runoff relations and water-quality characteristics of nutrients and sediment in edge-of-field runoff at livestock farms in Wisconsin
- Comparisons of runoff and water-quality data between surface and subsurface tiles
- How field conditions and the timing of field-management activities affect the quantity and quality of runoff from agricultural fields
This webinar is presented by the USDA NRCS Central National Technology Support Center.
