Concept information
Preferred term
USDA/ARS/NSL
Definition
- The USDA National Sedimentation Laboratory deals with research of soil erosion; transport and deposition of sediment; movement of chemicals on upland areas and in streams; the impact of agricultural practices, in-stream structures, and bank protection on these processes; water quality; and the ecological well-being of streams. Research ranges from basic and fundamental research to applied research and technology transfer for federal and state action agencies. This cooperation has allowed NSL to conduct research related to bio-indicators, numerical modeling, and acoustical measurements and to make progress that would not occur otherwise.
