The computer model, PRZM (Pesticide Root Zone Model) was used to simulate the transportation of nitrogen through the soil column, past the crop root zone to groundwater. Then MOC (Method of Characterization), a groundwater model, was used to transport the nitrogen that had reached the water table offsite. Results were compared to existing field data in an attempt to verify the validity of the simulation.ix, 125 leavesBTDapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1992.S255Groundwater flowNitrogen fertilizers -- Eastern Shore (Md and Va)Subsurface drainage -- Eastern Shore (Md and Va)Thesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-10062009-020258/
