The significance of local water resources captured in small reservoirs for crop production – A global-scale analysis [PDF]
, 2010 Rainwater harvesting, broadly defined as the collection and storage of surface runoff, has a long history in supplying water for agricultural purposes. Despite its significance, rainwater harvesting in small reservoirs has previously been overlooked in ...

Evaluating Hydrologic Response of an Agricultural Watershed for Watershed Analysis [PDF]
Water, 2011 This paper describes the hydrological assessment of an agricultural watershed in the Midwestern United States through the use of a watershed scale hydrologic model. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was applied to the Maquoketa River watershed, located in northeast Iowa, draining an agriculture intensive area of about 5,000 km2.

International Review of Hydrobiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study evaluates land use and land cover (LULC) changes and their impacts on the fish community of a neotropical stream in the Sorocaba River basin, Brazil, from 2006 to 2023. The watershed experienced landscape changes over time, categorized into four periods: rural interventions, urban interventions, restorative interventions, and post ...

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.Abstract In the 1980s, growing recognition of agricultural phosphorus (P) sources to surface water eutrophication led to scrutiny of animal feeding operations. In 1990, the USDA‐Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) invited prominent scientists to find a solution. It was at an initial meeting that Dr. Andrew Sharpley suggested that P assessment

The influence of hedgerow systems on the hydrology of agricultural catchments in a temperate climate [PDF]
Agronomie, 1999 Le bocage est un mode d'organisation de l'espace rural represente par un reseau de haies enclosant les parcelles. Il fait partie de ces systemes lineaires boises utilises dans de nombreuses regions pour proteger cultures et sols du vent, du ruissellement et de l'erosion.

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.Abstract Phosphorus (P) loss from agricultural systems to surface waters, and ultimately, eutrophication, presents a wicked problem requiring transdisciplinary solutions. The mission of SERA‐17 (Southern Extension and Research Advisory Information Exchange Group‐17) has been to address this problem by developing “Innovative Solutions to Minimize ...

Socio-hydrological drivers of agricultural water use in small reservoirs
Agricultural Water Management, 2019 Abstract Millions of small reservoirs built across semi-arid areas present a potential to support agricultural livelihoods of rural smallholders. The scale and geographical dispersion of these multiple lakes restrict the understanding of these coupled human-water systems and the identification of adequate strategies to support riparian farmers.

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.Abstract Critical source areas (CSAs) are small areas of a field, farm, or catchment that account for most contaminant loss by having both a high contaminant availability and transport potential. Most work on CSAs has focused on phosphorus (P), largely through the work in the 1990s initiated by Dr.
