| Title | Reducing High Flows and Sediment Loading Through Increased Water Storage in an Agricultural Watershed of the Upper Midwest, USA |
| Creator | Mitchell, Nate Kumarasamy, Karthik Cho, Se Jong Belmont, Patrick Dalzell, Brent Gran, Karen |
| Description | Climate change, land clearing, and artificial drainage have increased the Minnesota River Basin’s (MRB) stream flows, enhancing erosion of channel banks and bluffs. Accelerated erosion has increased sediment loads and sedimentation rates downstream. High flows could be reduced through increased water storage (e.g., wetlands or detention basins), but quantifying the effectiveness of such a strategy remains a challenge. We used the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to simulate changes in... |
