Abstract
ArcView Extension for Site-Specific Soil and Water ConservationTrack: Agriculture
Author(s): Chris S. Renschler, Dennis C. Flanagan, Bernard A. Engel
The Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model is a continuous simulation, process-based model that allows simulation of small watersheds and hillslope profiles within those watersheds. The paper describes the approach to allow WEPP simulations based on using digital sources of information through the linkage with geographic information systems. The ArcView extension is a geospatial interface for WEPP that utilizes readily available digital georeferenced information, such as digital elevation models, topographical maps, orthophotos, soil surveys, land use maps, and climate data, to derive and prepare valid model input parameters to start site-specific soil and water conservation practice.
