Join this webinar to get a better understanding of how terrain and hydrology derivatives can be used for Resource Assessment.
Simple applications will be presented that can be easily accessed where LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) elevation data is available in the NRCS Elevation Web Services. Also, one of the most advanced applications of LiDAR data use for Resource Assessment is the Agricultural Conservation Planning Framework (ACPF) Toolbox. This suite of geoprocessing workflows has been developed by staff at the ARS-National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment (NLAE) . It includes tools to process the LiDAR-based digital elevation models for hydrologic analysis, which then allows a series of prioritization, riparian classification, and conservation-practice placement tools to be used. The result is the identification of agricultural fields most prone to deliver runoff directly to streams, map and classify riparian zones to inform whole-watershed riparian corridor management and estimate the extent of tile drainage in the watershed. Rather than making any recommendations, ACPF provides an inventory of watershed assessment data and conservation placement opportunities across a watershed, in order to inform local watershed planning.
