“…A general finding of all these studies is that although water quality improvements resulting from BMP implementation can be reliably measured at the field scale, it has been difficult to measure improvements in water quality at the watershed scale (Osmond 2010;Cho et al 2010;Meals et al 2012). Possible explanations for this include that decades are required to overcome legacy effects of NPS pollution-especially sedimentation of streams and rivers, and that much of the investment in BMPs was widely distributed across the agricultural landscape and not concentrated in areas contributing the most to water quality problems or in areas most likely to respond to BMPs (Jang et al 2013).…”

“…al 2008). For example, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) can be used to assess the benefits of applying a series of management practices across a watershed and what the total reduction in NO 3 leaching will be across the watershed (Osmond 2010). As another example, Brooks et al (2010) reported that there has been a decrease in sediment loads over the last 28 years in the Paradise Creek watershed, which can be attributed to a conversion from conventional tillage systems to minimum tillage and perennial grasses.…”

“…Nutrient management involves both behavioral and biophysical contextual components, and crafting workable approaches requires information about both (Brant 2003;Nowak and Cabot 2004). There are clear benefits to conducting more intensive, on-farm research to identify operational challenges in implementing NM (e.g., Cabot et al 2006;Pierce et al 2007;Weld et al 2002), and findings from the USDA Conservation Effects Assessment Project studies illustrate the importance of incorporating social dimensions into that research (see Osmond 2010). Yet, beyond formalized research and comparative methodological approaches for NMP development (e.g., Sharpley et al 2003;Weld et al 2002), there is a need for complementary and accessible methods and measurement tools that incorporate socioeconomic and behavioral changes into use of NM and related voluntary practices, as well as a commitment to use them as part of a natural resource protection effort (Robertson et al 2007;Genskow and Wood 2009;Prokopy 2011).…”

“…Nonpoint source pollution from rural and urban landscapes carries nutrients and other contaminants into surface water and groundwater and contributes to tainted drinking water supplies, degraded fish and wildlife habitat, and compromised recreational opportunities. For decades, numerous federal, state, and local agencies and nongovernmental organizations have provided technical assistance, funding, oversight, and expertise to enable landowners to use practices aimed at minimizing the impact of NPS (Osmond 2010; Duriancik et al 2008).…”
