Model:SWAT 
Broad Application Category:hydrologic and pollutant 
Primary Application Category:BMP and/or cropping system assessment 
Secondary Application Category:pollutant cycling/loss and transport 
Watershed Description:51.3 km^2 Walnut Creek and 8.2 km^2 Buck Creek, located respectively in central and east central Iowa, U.S. 
Calibration Summary:Monthly (1991-97): W. Creek r2 = .67 B. Creek r2 = .64 
Validation Summary: 
General Comments:Simulated sediment and nitrate loads were compared between baseline land use, historical land use, and three future land use scenarios. Pollutant reductions of ~90% or more were estimated for the pre-development scenario. Large reductions were also predicted for scenarios 2 and 3.
