                        Project Type: Trust Fund Cooperative Agreement Start Date: Mar 1, 2020
                        
                        End Date: Feb 28, 2025 **Objective:**
                        
                        Develop and test models for predicting phosphorus losses from agricultural fields in the Western Lake Erie Basin (WLEB). This research addresses concerns identified by the Sustainable Phosphorus Alliance. **Approach:**
                        
                        - Organize and format existing data to machine-readable format.
- Calibrate and testing of P loss models including APLE and SWAT. 
- Identifying model limitations and areas for model improvement.
- Using models to run simulations to evaluate impact of different management strategies in reducing phosphorus loss in the Western Lake Erie Basin.
