Abstract: The primary focus of the CEAP Ohio-Tennessee River Basin study is on the 21 percent of the watershed that is cultivated cropland. The study was designed to – quantify the effects of conservation practices commonly used on cultivated cropland in the Ohio-Tennessee River Basin during 2003–06 – evaluate the need for additional conservation treatment in the region on the basis of edge-of-field losses, and – estimate the potential gains that could be attained with additional conservation treatment. The assessment uses a statistical sampling and modeling approach to estimate the effects of conservation practices.
