Possible locations for surface-intake filters, drainage water management, grassed waterways, contour buffer strips, nutrient removal wetlands, water/sediment control basins, and denitrifying bioreactors are identified and mapped by the ACPF tools. This manual describes how to apply the ACPF planning tools, with instructions on input data, data maintenance and file management, digital-terrain-model processing, stream delineations, runoff risk assessment, and execution of Python programming scripts that are used to propose conservation-practice placements. To enable application of this approach, USDA/ARS has developed a set of Geographic Information System (GIS) based software tools to identify candidate locations for different types of conservation practices that can be placed within and below fields in order to reduce, trap and treat hydrologic flows, and thereby improve water quality in agricultural watersheds. ![]() Van Horn National Laboratory for Agriculture & the Environment, USDA-ARS Ames Iowa ABSTRACT: Agricultural Conservation Planning Framework (ACPF) comprises an approach for applying concepts of precision conservation to watershed planning in agricultural landscapes. ![]() Agricultural Conservation Planning Framework ArcGIS® Toolbox User’s Manual Version 3.0.
