Abstract

Hydrologic and economic models were used to evaluate the Highland Silver Lake (Illinois) project of the Rural Clean Water Program. Conservation tillage was the most cost-effective practice in reducing sediment and nutrient loadings to the lake. Wider implementation of this practice in place of more costly structural measures would have increased the cost effectiveness of the project. While the economic water quality benefits of the project will likely be less than the costs, insights for future projects and programs were gained from the project's inclusion in the experimental program.
