Abstract: The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service initiated a national project to develop a hierarchy of systems for evaluating nonpoint source pollution to meet the planning needs of PL 92-500, Section 208. In 1978, approximately 45 scientists and engineers concentrated their efforts on developing and assembling physically-based state-of-the-art models to simulate water, erosion, plant nutrient, and pesticide runoff from field-size areas. This paper presents the major components that were assembled for simulation to evaluate nonpoint source pollution from existing management practices, and from alternate recommended practices.
