ABSTRACT:
The Agricultural Nonpoint-Source (AGNPS) pollution model was used to simulate several land retirement programs in a case-study for cost-effectively reducing sedimentation. The simulations varied according to targeting procedures and objectives and form of rental payments. The results suggested several ways to improve the cost-effectiveness of land retirement programs.
