Description
The SWAT (Soil Water Assessment Tool) model was selected to simulate different agricultural practices and BMP options in Crowfoot Creek. The Crowfoot Creek watershed was selected as a pilot study area for rural nonpoint source BMP scenario modeling in Bow River Basin. Seven scenarios were run with the SWAT model to support the PMP. These included: protection of existing wetlands; restoration of degraded/drained wetlands; manure management and spreading; cropland conversion to perennial forage in riparian zones or in-field gullies/waterways; and riparian fall grazing within cultivated lands.
