Sediment Loss Prediction with DRAINMOD-CREAMSI
Data from a subsurface-drained plot and a non-subsurface-drained plot near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, were used to evaluate the DRAINMOD-CREAMS model for simulating sediment loss from flat agricultural land. Simulated and measured sediment losses were compared for 7 years (1981-87). The model underest...

| Summary: | Data from a subsurface-drained plot and a non-subsurface-drained plot near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, were used to evaluate the DRAINMOD-CREAMS model for simulating sediment loss from flat agricultural land. Simulated and
measured sediment losses were compared for 7 years (1981-87). The model underestimated sediment loss by 10.1%and 11.0% from a subsurface-drained plot and non-subsurfuce-drained plot, respectively. In general, the performance of the DRAINMOD-CREAMS model in simulating sediment loss from flat agricultural land in Louisiana, USA is satisfactory. |
