Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Water Resource Management
  • Agricultural Engineering

Background:

  • Agricultural non-point source pollution (NPSP) significantly degrades reservoir water quality.
  • Effective control of NPSP is crucial for water quality improvement.
  • Best Management Practices (BMPs) are commonly employed to mitigate NPSP.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply the Agricultural Non-Point Source Pollution (AGNPS) model for simulating NPSP and BMP efficiencies.
  • To establish an enhanced multiobjective mixed-integer programming model for NPSP control strategy analysis.
  • To analyze trade-offs among cost, phosphorus load, sediment load, and equity objectives.

Main Methods:

  • Simulation of NPSP loading and BMP efficiencies using the AGNPS model.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Development of a multiobjective mixed-integer programming model incorporating cost, phosphorus load, sediment load, and equity.
  • Application of the constraint method to obtain non-inferior solutions and analyze trade-offs.

    • Main Results:

    • The enhanced model demonstrated superior cost-effectiveness compared to previous fertilizer control models.
    • Achieved significant reductions in phosphorus and sediment loading.
    • Improved equity goals in NPSP control strategies.
    • Identified non-inferior solutions and trade-off relationships among control objectives.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed model provides a more effective and comprehensive approach to NPSP control strategy analysis.
    • The model facilitates decision-making for cost-sharing programs to incentivize farmer adoption of BMPs.
    • Optimized BMP selection enhances reservoir water quality and ecosystem health.
