Optimizing the placement of riparian practices in a watershed using terrain analysis

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
Riparian buffers and constructed wetlands are best management practices (BMPs) that can improve water quality. However, these practices are not equally effective in all locations. Our objective was to develop maps to help plan the placement of BMPs in a watershed for water quality benefits. Tipton Creek, a 49,000-acre Iowa watershed, provided a case study. Buffer-placement maps, developed from analysis of 30 m (100 ft) elevation data, identified riparian locations with large wetness indices, where buffer vegetation could intercept sheet/rill flows from significant upslope areas. These sites were numerous, typically small (
