1 Runoff Risk Advisory Forecast (RRAF) for Wisconsin Development & Production of a Real-Time Decision Support System for Wisconsin Manure Producers Dustin Goering North Central River Forecast Center (NCRFC) 2013 AWRA Spring Specialty Conference Agricultural Hydrology & Water Quality II St. Louis, MO
2 What is the NCRFC? and Water Quality? North Central River Forecast Center is 1 of 13 RFCs Covers 341,000 mi 2 over 9 states Staff of 19 responsible for 426 forecast points Real-time modeling of 1,173 sub-watersheds ranging from 6 3,061 mi 2 Primary focus is streamflow and river stage forecasts
3 What is the NCRFC? and Water Quality? North Central River Forecast Center is 1 of 13 RFCs Covers 341,000 mi 2 over 9 states Staff of 19 responsible for 426 forecast points Real-time modeling of 1,173 sub-watersheds ranging from 6 3,061 mi 2 Primary focus is streamflow and river stage forecasts NWS Strategic Plan Focus on helping decision makers where weather & water forecasts can have effect Address water quality not just quantity Leverage existing capabilities in new ways
4 RRAF Project Motivation Problem :: Excess contaminated field runoff can degrade water quality Well contamination, fish kills, Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone, Great Lakes water/beach quality Important Issue 1.25 million Wisconsin dairy cows 34 million tons of waste annually Best Management Practices / Nutrient Management Plans focus on how & where Wisconsin Dept.

Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP) Tasked to create advisory & notification system for state Goal :: Reduce nutrient loss in field runoff entering water bodies Utilize existing NWS weather & watershed modeling in water quality application Collaboration opportunity with federal, state, and university partners Complement BMPs/NMPs & producer knowledge Doesn t replace farmers responsibility

Before this, no real-time guidance currently existed to aid decision process for producers

Users build trust in the RRAF fewer contamination incidents?
