摘要: A genetic algorithm (GA), an evolutionary optimization technique, is coupled with a semi-distributed hydrologic model, Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to find optimum combination of structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) that meets the treatment goals at watershed scale. The BMPs considered in study are detention ponds, parallel terraces, filter strips, grassed waterways, grade stabilization structures which all applicable agricultural watersheds. decision variables model type, size, location minimize construction cost simultaneously reduce sediment nutrients target levels outlet. demonstrated on Silver Creek, sub-watershed Lower Kaskaskia Illinois. used compare three different nutrient reduction cases (i.e. 20%, 40%, and, 60%)
