Landuse AssessmentsTablet PCs + ArcPad + Aerials + Field Boundaries (CLUs)
For each CLU or Field Boundary, record:• Previous Landuse (Row Crop)• Current Landuse• Tillage (Row Crop)• Management (good, poor, etc)• Practices (Terraces, Contour Buffer Strips, etc.)
Utility:• Characterize Watershed• Inputs for subsequent Sheet & Rill (RUSLE)/Sediment Delivery

Many of Project Coordinators have less than 2 years experience
DSCWQ & DNR must be able to defend results
Before its predecessor, the SDC, over 50 projects, over 50 different methodologies

Factors Influencing SDR
• Landform Region
• Drainage Area (aka Watershed Size)
– Large watershed = low SDR
– Small watershed = high SDR
• Modifiers
– Watershed Shape
– Channel Density
– Channel Condition
– Topography/Slope
