Comparison of nutrient load reductions for major drainages from the Spatially Referenced Regression On Watershed-attributes (SPARROW) model simulations where the fraction of best management practices (BMPs) on agricultural land is increased by 50% relative to conditions in 2012 and reductions from the Conservation Effects Assessment Program (CEAP) watershed studies. CEAP studies examine BMP effects on nutrient loads between 2003 to 2006 and 2011, and BMP effects from increasing BMP intensity for undertreated agricultural lands.
