Nutrient application from the non-point sources contribute to water quality degradation. Developing nutrients Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) require quantifying nutrients load contribution from each potential nutrient sources and determining nutrients reduction strategies from each source to meet water quality goals. The watershed-scale evaluation of the effects of the agricultural, pasture, and forest management practices on water quality can be estimated using watershed water quality models.
