| General Comments: | SWAT was interfaced with the Cost & Return Estimator (CARE) enterprise budget generator, and other data & software tools, to determine values of 5 decision criteria for 36 farming systems for each field in the watershed. SWAT output is built into the modeling system as water quality, soil loss, & other similar constraints; actual SWAT output is not reported. Results for a baseline, 1 uncoordinated, & 4 coordinated scenarios are reported. |
