Overview
With the increased impact of human activities and climate change on water quality and quantity, regulatory agencies have been advocating for field to watershed level mandatory and voluntary mitigation and management practices to reduce this impact. Such practices vary based on location (e.g. urban, rural, forest), climatic zones, target pollutant, and scale. While some of these practices have been in place for decades (e.g. agricultural mitigation practices) others are still in an emerging phase (e.g. urban green infrastructure). There is a need for comprehensive research that addresses various mitigation activities such as monitoring, modeling, evaluating these practices impact at watershed scale, quantifying the uncertainty and limitations of pollutant reduction prediction, and the role of artificial Intelligence (AI) in identifying hotspots and allocation of these mitigation practices.
------------
We have identified 16 initial contributions from the project members and collaborators and welcome others that deliver new insights and investigates gaps in mitigation practices research at field and watershed scales including monitoring, modeling and interdisciplinary and translational studies. Submissions related to the following topics are particularly encouraged:
------------
· Advances in mitigation practices design
------------
· Advances in monitoring
------------
· Quantification of mitigation practices ecosystem services
------------
· Achieving Nutrient and Sediment Reduction Goals Through Watershed Management
------------
· Limitations and uncertainties in predicting mitigation of runoff contaminants with best management and mitigation practices
------------
· Alternative water resources in the context of climate change
------------
· Legacy nutrients and sediments impacting the efficiency of mitigation practices performance
------------
· Using advanced techniques in identifying and targeting mitigation practices in urban, agricultural and forested watersheds.
