Developing a module in the Cold Region Hydrological Model (CRHM) platform to numerically estimate the surface and tile flows from an agricultural field in Londesborough Ontario.

The main goal of the project is to develop a module for the Cold Region Hydrology Model (CRHM) platform to predict surface and tile outflow from an agricultural field different climate conditions. We will use the CRHM platform to predict different hydrologic components, such as infiltration and storage in the soil, and will add a tile drainage component (working with the Core team). We use our model to predict the outflows in a large number of precipitation and snow melt events, at a site that is typical of conditions within southwestern Ontario. We will compare our outflow results to the observed edge of field outflow rates to calibrate and verify our model. Note, that this data set is collected to support the project titled 'Agricultural Water Futures in Canada: Stressors and Solutions'. Agriculture Water Futures is a Pillar 3 project under the Global Water Futures Program funded by Canada First Research Excellence Fund.
