Research Project:
Regional-Scale Assessment of Salinity and Impacts of Best Management Practices
Location: Water Reuse and Remediation
Project Number: 5310-61000-013-14
Project Type:
Specific Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 09, 2008
End Date: Mar 21, 2012
Objective:
Evaluate the use of advanced information technologies (geophysical techniques, response surface sampling design, spatial statistics, and GIS) as a means of assessing non-point source pollutants and the mitigating impact of best management practices.
Approach:
Advanced information technologies (geophysical techniques, response surface sampling design, spatial statistics, and GIS) will be used to assess soil salinity and the impacts of best management practices on non-point source pollutant loads at a regional scale (i.e., hundreds of thousands of acres). The approach relies on the use of currently available spatial data collected by various state and federal agencies that have been incorporated into a GIS and its analysis using spatial statistics and a response surface sampling design to identify a range of locations that can be used to statistically evaluate and predict trends in non-point source pollutants (salinity and trace elements) and the mitigating impact of best management practices. Documents SCA with UC Riverside.
