Body
The Goodwin Creek Experimental Watershed in northern Mississippi was used to investigate how switching from cultivated land to non-cultivated land, including pastures, alters the amount and rate of sediment entering the stream channel. Between 1982 and 1990 water flow, sediment flow rates and sizes were monitored at 14 gauges throughout the rural agricultural watershed.
