Event Scale Sediment Yield Modeling on Agriculturally Isolated Wetlands in Southwest Georgia

Explore a 23-minute conference presentation from the Georgia Water Resources Conference examining sediment yield modeling in Geographically Isolated Wetlands (GIWs) of Southwest Georgia's Dougherty Plain. Learn about the development of event-based sediment yield models for agricultural and forested wetlands in the ACF River Basin, focusing on how these wetlands mitigate non-point source pollution. Discover the research methodology involving MUSLE modeling, sediment traps, composite curve numbers, and data collection from rain gauges and water level loggers. Understand the investigation of agricultural erosion limitations through sediment supply and rainfall intensity analysis, while examining the impact of center pivot berms and vegetative buffers on wetland function. Gain insights into the research aimed at strengthening the understanding of terrestrial-aquatic ecosystem relationships in agricultural settings through stakeholder engagement and the development of GIW restoration frameworks.
