dc.description.abstractThis article introduces a special collection of nine articles that address a wide range of topics all related to improving the application of watershed management planning. The articles are grouped into two broadly defined categories.. modeling applications, and monitoring and assessment. The modeling application articles focus on one of two widely used watershed-scale water quality modeling packages: HSPF or SWAT The HSPF article assesses the model's robustness when applied to watersheds across a range of topographic settings and climatic conditions. In the SWAT-related articles, researchers used the model to inform watershed management efforts in a variety of ways, including subwatershed prioritization in the context of achieving broader watershed management goals, examining the utility of applying SWAT in a watershed receiving groundwater inputs from outside the topographic watershed boundaries, and estimating the uncertainty and risk associated with meeting TMDL target loads. The monitoring and assessment articles cover such diverse topics as an examination of how best management practice effectiveness is assessed, examination of estimated nutrient loads to a reservoir where a nutrient TMDL has been developed, examination of the sources of fecal indicator bacteria in an urban watershed, and detailed accounting of issues related to flow measurements in small watersheds. The articles in this collection contribute to the body of literature that seeks to inform and advance sound watershed management planning and execution.en
