2 IET is the Integrated Erosion Tool, but does more than that. It computes: Water erosion Wind erosion Soil organic matter trend Soil tillage intensity Air particulates (PM10) Farming operation fuel use IET is an ArcMap Add-In developed for the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), but designed for external use as well IET was recently deployed and starting to be used by in NRCS county offices for resource assessment on land under cultivation: crop, pasture/hay

3 IET uses two process-based soil erosion models developed by the USDAAgricultural Research Service (ARS) Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) model from the National Soil Erosion Laboratory at Purdue Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS) model from the Center for Agricultural Resources Research, Fort Collins WEPP and WEPS are deployed as model web services (MaaS) to a data center scaled for expected customer loads The model services are supported by common soil, climate, land management, and model domain data stores and their data web services

4 NRCS has used an enterprise ArcGIS license since 1999 for most program delivery activities, supporting: County-level technical and financial assistance to farmers and ranchers: the GIS component primarily the layers and tools supporting the conservation plan map Conservation Effects Assessment Program (CEAP) for major river basin assessments National Resources Inventory (NRI) Soil Survey Program (NASIS, SSURGO, STATSGO, etc.) However, until recently, science-based farm-level resource assessment has involved non-geospatial, stand-alone tools, each with their own configurations, data, and support communities

5 IET represents the first step towards geospatially integrating all agencyapproved resource assessment tools for county-level technical assistance to farmers, ranchers, and other clients NRCS resource assessment tool integration is guided by the Conservation Delivery Streamlining Initiative (CDSI), the primary component of the agency s current IT investment portfolio

6 IET Setting: South Platte River Basin Cultivated Land Example Corn, Alfalfa, Dry Beans, Barley Corn, Alfalfa Wheat, Fallow, Millet, Sunflower, Corn

7 Before Using IET: Import or Digitize Farm Field Geometry

8 Before Using IET: Check Local Resource Setting (Soil, Climate, etc.) Source Data: From NRCS Geospatial Data Gateway ( Morgan County Soil Survey (SSURGO) PRISM monthly normal precipitation, min/max temperatures Other

9 Getting Started: Create an IET Farm Assessment Layer CO Morgan z5 Farm

10 IET Resource Assessment Workflow

11 IET Step 1: Build a Crop Rotation

19 IET Step 3: Set Slope Parameters and Practices - Water Erosion

20 IET Step 3: Set Slope Parameters and Practices - Water Erosion

21 IET Step 3: Set Slope Parameters and Practices - Water Erosion Set Slope Length and Steepness On Steeper Slopes, Set Slope Aspect and Shape On Steeper Slopes, Option to Set Degree of Contouring On Steeper Ground, Option to Specify Grass Strips to Break Slope into Shorter Segments

22 IET Step 3: Set Slope Parameters and Practices - Water Erosion Source Data: USDA-NRCS Soil Data Access Slope steepness + LightleWeesie default slope length Data Service: csip-soils/d/wwesoilparams/2.0 Source Data: Conservation Resources Database (CRdb.practice) Farming on the contour choices/parameters Filter strip, vegetative barrier parameters Data services: csip-practice/d/contour/1.0, csippractice/d/strip/1.0

23 IET Step 4: Set Region and Barrier Parameters - Wind Erosion

24 IET Step 4: Set Region and Wind Barrier Parameters - Wind Erosion

25 IET Step 4: Set Region and Wind Barrier Parameters - Wind Erosion Set Region of Field Relevant for Assessment As Needed, Specify Windbreaks or Wind Barriers at Edges of the Region

26 IET Step 4: Set Region and Wind Barrier Parameters - Wind Erosion Source Data: IET layer shapefile farm field geometry Set shape (quarter, half, full circle, rectangle) IET computes default region dimension and orientation Source Data: Conservation Resources Database (CRdb.practice) Wind barrier, windbreak choices/parameters Data service: csip-practice/d/barrier/1.0

27 IET Step 5: Choose Fuel and Run Simulation

28 IET Step 5: Choose Fuel and Run Simulation Soil Tillage Intensity Water & Wind Erosion Soil Organic Matter Trend Fuel Use PM10 Air Particulates

43 NRCS County Offices Currently ~1,000 model simulation requests per week building to a expected 25,000+ per week IET is a bridge application until replaced by ArcGIS-based web/mobile conservation planning and resource assessment application suite, currently in development Local Conservation Districts Starting to use IET calling CSIP services from their own networks Field-To-Market The Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture (FtM) Fieldprint Calculator (FPC) calls the same CSIP services and data as IET Farmers using FPC and FtM member organizations using the FPC API currently average ~1-2 thousand erosion model simulations per day, peaking to 40,000 per day with batch requests
