The Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP) was established in 2002 to quantify the environmental impact of the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) conservation program^[1]. The project mostly focuses on how watershed is effected^[2]. CEAP monitored fourteen benchmark watershed sites^[3].

Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT)

SWAT is supported by the USDA Agricultural Research Service. It is a river basin scale model used to quantify the impact of land management practices in large watersheds. The tool is located in Grassland, Soil and Research Laboratory in Temple, Texas^[4].
